Mechanochemical synthesis of ternary heterojunctions TiO2(A)/TiO2(R)/ZnO and TiO2(A)/TiO2(R)/SnO2 for effective charge separation in semiconductor photocatalysis: A comparative study

M. L. Aruna Kumari et al.

Summary: TiO2, ZnO, and SnO2 metal oxides were synthesized and heterojunctions were fabricated by combining TiO2 with either ZnO or SnO2 in a 1:1 ratio using mechanochemical ball milling process. The ternary heterojunctions showed enhanced photocatalytic activity, with TiO2(A)/TiO2(R)/ZnO heterojunction attributed to the formation of Ti3+-V-o defect states leading to efficient charge carrier separation. The ball milling process resulted in severe crystal deformation in TiO2 and ZnO lattices, creating crystal lattice distortion and defects due to valency mismatch between Ti4+ and Zn2+.
