Interfacial charge transfer in g-CN/FeVO/AgBr nanocomposite for efficient photodegradation of tetracycline antibiotic and Victoria blue dye.

The study presents the fabrication and superior photoactivity of a ternary g-CN/FeVO/AgBr heterojunction nanocomposite, synthesized via a chemical precipitation method for effective degradation of tetracycline (TC) and Victoria Blue (VB) dye under light illumination. The morphology and the crystal size of the synthesized nanocomposite were characterized by using FESEM and XRD and the calculated grain size (100.39 nm) is larger than the crystal size (48.

An overview on ZnO-based sonophotocatalytic mitigation of aqueous phase pollutants.

Over the past several decades, the increase in industrialization provoked the discharge of harmful pollutants into the environment, affecting human beings and ecosystems. ZnO-based photocatalysts seem to be the most promising photocatalysts for treating harmful pollutants. However, fast charge carrier recombination, photo corrosion, and long reaction time are the significant factors that reduce the photoactivity of ZnO-based photocatalysts.
