Microwave hydrothermal preparation of reduced graphene oxide-induced p-AgO/n-MoO heterostructures for enhanced photocatalytic activity through S-scheme mechanism and its electronic performance.

Through a powerful and modest closed system Microwave hydrothermal process, a methodological analysis is made in the rational synthesis of the reduced graphene oxide-induced p-AgO/n-MoO (RGAM) heterostructures. These have strong p-n junction heterostructures with considerable electron-hole recombination functioning as solar catalysts. The enhanced photocatalytic activity through the plasmonic step scheme (S-scheme mechanism) describes the effective charge recombination process.

Designing of graphene oxide-induced p-NiO/n-MoO heterostructures for improved photocatalytic activity through plasmon-enhanced S-scheme mechanism and its biological and electrochemical performance.

An environmentally benign, economically advantageous microwave hydrothermal approach is used in synthesis of desirably tailored graphene oxide-induced p-NiO/n-MoO (GNM) heterostructures. Various analytical techniques such XPS, XRD, UPS, EIS, and Mott-Schottky were conducted to comprehend complete morphology and functioning of the novel ternary heterostructure photocatalysts. Also, SEM and HR-TEM images were presented for better interpretation.

Developing of semi-transparent α-FeO/CuO heterostructures with S-scheme photocatalytic activity and biological interests.

The scarcity of water has been an outgrowing problem, while population is increasing so is the demand for the water. Hence conservation of water is most important and this material might bring in drastic changes in recycling the wastewater into portable ones. The α-FeO/CuO is a desirably tailored nanomaterial synthesized using eco-friendly cost-effective hydrothermal method, where α-FeO and CuO were synthesized separately and later combined to produce an effective material.
