Transition metals-doped g-CN nanostructures as advanced photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN)-based heterostructured photocatalysts have received significant attention for its potential applications in the treatment of wastewater and hydrogen evolution. The utilization of semiconductor materials in heterogeneous photocatalysis has recently received great attention due to their potential and eco-friendly properties. Doping with metal ions plays a crucial role in altering the photochemical characteristics of g-CN, effectively enhancing photoabsorption into the visible range and thus improving the photocatalytic performance of doped photocatalysts.

Sono-Chemical Synthesis of Silver Quantum Dots Immobilized on Exfoliated Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanostructures Using Ginseng Extract for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution, Dye Degradation, and Antimicrobial Studies.

Due to modernization and the scarcity of fossil fuel resources, energy demand is continuously increasing. In this regard, it is essential and necessary to create a renewable energy source that can meet future energy demands. Recently, the production of H by water splitting and removing pollutants from the water has been essential for issues of energy and environmental demands.

An efficient orange-red-emitting LiNa P O :Sm pyrophosphate: Structural and optical analysis for solid-state lighting.

A trivalent rare-earth ion (Sm )-doped LiNa P O (LNPO) phosphor was synthesized using a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction route. A predominant orthorhombic phase of LNPO was observed in all X-ray diffraction patterns. The surface states of the LNPO:Sm phosphor were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
