The aim of the present work is to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of propyl paraben (propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, PrP) using CuO-ZnO-NPs photocatalyst followed by the identification of the oxidation by-products. The CuO-ZnO-NPs material, synthesized using a green chemistry approach, was used as a photocatalyst for the removal of PrP. The nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, XRF, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, ATG/DTG, FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET and FRX techniques.

The design and synthesis of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are rapidly growing fields in optoelectronics. Considering the high demand for newly designed materials with superior optoelectronic characteristics, we investigated the doping process of Group-IIIA elements (namely, B, Al and Ga) onto alkali metal (AM = Li, Na and K)-supported COLi (AM@COLi) complexes to enhance their NLO response. The AM-COLi complexes retained their structural features following interaction with the Group-IIIA elements.

Article Synopsis
  • The ZnO-CoO catalyst, synthesized through the co-precipitation method, demonstrated high efficiency for removing diclofenac sodium (DCF) by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS), achieving nearly 99% removal under optimal conditions.
  • Quenching experiments highlighted that the reactive oxygen species, singlet oxygen, and superoxide radicals were crucial for DCF degradation in the ZnO-CoO/PMS system, with catalyst stability being confirmed through negligible cobalt leaching and consistent degradation rates over multiple cycles.
  • Eight degradation products of DCF were identified and assessed for toxicity, indicating that the ZnO-CoO/PMS system is a viable option for degrading organic pollutants effectively.
