The efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalytic processes is currently limited due to the fast recombination of photocarriers, poor light absorption, and inefficient surface catalytic characteristics. In this study, defect-rich yellow TiO nanoparticles (abbreviated as D-TiO) with high surface area and significant absorption in the visible range were integrated with perovskite-like BiTiO to synthesize binary D-TiO/BiTiO nanocomposites. To overcome the problem of insufficient activity, we integrated the optimized D-TiO/BiTiO nanocomposite with plasmonic Bi nanoparticles.

Herein, chitosan nanoparticle (CHIT) was used as a safe and biocompatible matrix to carry flaxseed ( L.) extract (FSE). The number of main features and bio-interface properties of CHIT-FSE were determined by SEM, DLS, FTIR, XRD, TGA, and zeta potential analyses and compared to those of chitosan lacking FSE.

In today's world, the development of an efficient water treatment strategy requires a prospective approach for the production of active and stable photocatalysts. The construction of heterojunctions with different semiconductors is a promising procedure for improving photocatalytic performances. In the present research, binary CeO/BiCrO photocatalysts were synthesized using a hydrothermal route preceded by a calcination step.

Today, cleaning the environment using photocatalytic technology is one of the main research activities. In this study, carbon dots (C-dots) were anchored on oxygen-vacancy-enriched TiO quantum dots (QDs)/TiO oxygen vacancies (OVs) using a facile procedure. The resultant ternary TiO QDs/TiO OVs/C-dots photocatalysts with a quantum dot size of almost 4.
