Role of thermal decomposition process in the photocatalytic or photoluminescence properties of BiPO polymorphs.

Thermal decomposition process was used to obtain modified photocatalytic and/or photoluminescence properties of bismuth phosphate polymorphs. The precursor BiPO , 0.7H O was synthesized by a coprecipitation route.

Highly efficient nanostructured CoFe O thin film electrodes for electrochemical degradation of rhodamine B.

In this work, we report the application of highly efficient electrodeposited cobalt ferrite (CoFe O ) thin films in electrochemical degradation of rhodamine B. XRD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopic studies confirmed the formation of single phase CoFe O . SEM analysis revealed a very fine nanorods dispersed uniformly with average size around 30 nm.
