Bimetallic CuPd alloy nanoparticles decorated ZnO nanosheets with enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye

Hao Sun et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic technology is a promising alternative for water treatments, but its practical application is limited by low efficiency and selectivity. In this study, two-dimensional zinc oxide nanosheets decorated with copper-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized for the degradation of organic dyes in water. The prepared composites showed superior photocatalytic performance compared to pristine ZnO nanosheets under visible-light irradiation, attributed to enhanced separation and transfer efficiency of charge carriers. The highest catalytic efficiency was achieved by CuPd/ZnO nanocomposite with 0.5 wt% CuPd, achieving 95.3% removal of methyl orange within 45 minutes. This study provides a new avenue for the design and fabrication of high-performance photocatalysts for water treatments.

Simple hydrothermal preparation of sulfur fluoride-doped g-C3N4 and its photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange

Xiupei Yang et al.

Summary: By doping F and S elements, a sulfur fluoride-doped carbon nitride (F-SCN) photocatalyst was synthesized, which exhibited enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The optimal fluorination modification conditions were obtained by studying the effect of different fluorination ratios. Doping with F and S elements improved the electron-hole pair separation ability and charge transfer efficiency of the g-C3N4 photocatalyst, leading to higher degradation and removal rates of MO compared to BCN and SCN.
