Efficiency and mechanistic insights of photocatalytic decomposition of tetracycline and rhodamine B utilizing Z-scheme g-CN/SnWO heterostructures under visible light irradiation.

The hydrothermal approach was used in the design and construction of the SnWO (SW) nanoplates anchored g-CN (gCN) nanosheet heterostructures. Morphology, optical characteristics, and phase identification were investigated. The heterostructure architect construction and successful interface interaction were validated by the physicochemical characteristics.

Advancements in Nickel-Phosphate/Boron Based Electroless Composite Coatings: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanical Properties and Recent Developments.

Nickel-Phosphate/Boron (Ni-P/B) electroless coatings have been widely used to improve physical and mechanical properties in various industrial applications, including the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, food, oil and gas, electronic, textile, and printing industries. Electroless nickel coatings are one of the most popular surface-coating methods due to their low cost and short processing time. The purpose of this review is to look at several coating materials and the existing processes for making electroless coatings on different materials.

InVO nanosheets decorated with ZnWO nanorods: A novel composite and its enhanced photocatalytic performance under solar light.

InVO is the most attractive inorganic new-generation material for advanced scientific research, especially in the fields of energy and environmental science. In theory, this stable, non-toxic, energy-efficient metal vanadate semiconductor is expected to exhibit significant catalytic activity owing to its narrow bandgap energy. However, this has not been achieved in practice because of its inherent defects in terms of the separation and migration of charge carriers.

Enhanced solar-light-driven photocatalytic properties of novel Z-scheme binary BiPO nanorods anchored onto NiFeO nanoplates: Efficient removal of toxic organic pollutants.

Global environmental problems have been increasing with the growth of the world economy and have become a crucial issue. To replace fossil fuels, sustainable and eco-friendly catalysts are required for the removal of organic pollutants. In this study, nickel ferrite (NiFeO) was prepared using a simple wet-chemical synthesis, followed by calcination; bismuth phosphate (BiPO) was also prepared using a hydrothermal method.

Recent progress in transition metal oxide/sulfide quantum dots-based nanocomposites for the removal of toxic organic pollutants.

Water is an essential solvent that is extremely necessary for the survival of life. Water pollution due to the increased utilization of water for various processes, including domestic and industrial activities, poses a special threat that contaminates both surface and ground water. In recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been applied to deal with wastewater problems, which is a green method used to oxidize organic contaminants with strong oxidative radical species.

Biosorption of Congo Red from aqueous solution by crab shell residue: a comprehensive study.

The abundantly available bio waste, crab shell powder was used as an adsorbent for the removal of pollutants like Congo Red. The morphological, textural and chemical characterization of the biomass was done with SEM, XRD, EDS and FT-IR studies. The nature and mechanism of the process were determined from equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies.
