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.

Orange-red luminescence of samarium-doped bismuth-germanium-borate glass for light-emitting devices.

Samarium (Sm )-doped glass has sparked a rising interest in demonstrating a noticeable emission in the range of 400-700, which is advantageous in solid-state lasers in the visible region, colour displays, undersea communication, and optical memory devices. This study reports the fabrication of Sm -doped bismuth-germanium-borate glasses were established using a standard melt-quenching technique and inspection by absorption, steady-state luminescence, and transient studies. The typical peaks of Sm ions were detected in the visible range under 403 nm excitation.
