Water pollution caused by different pollutants is one of the challenging tasks for the scientific community. We have prepared and characterized a material for removal of pollutant compounds. ZnO quantum dots decorated CuO nanosheets and TiO quantum dots decorated WO nanosheets composites have been prepared using a hydrothermal method.

ZnS and Ag-ZnS quantum dots were synthesized by chemical method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectra and photoluminescence. The charge transfer process on the semicon-ductor/electrolyte interface was investigated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and time-resolved photoluminescence.

This study examines the photo assisted electrochemical degradation of the Hydrochlorothiazide by using CdSe quantum dots decorated SnO nanotubes. The characteristic devices such as Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance Transmission electron Microscopy were used to analyze information structure of CdSe QDs/SnO nanotubes.

Isotherms and kinetic studies were determined to understand the adsorption behavior both two adsorbent. At low adsorbent dose, removals are increased in the adsorption process, and performance is better with AgS-chitosan nanohybrids due to the special surface area increased.
