Responses of Hydrocharis dubia (Bl.) Backer and Trapa bispinosa roxb. to tetracycline exposure.

The presence of tetracycline is ubiquitous and has adverse effects on aquatic systems. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the ecological sensitivity of Hydrocharis dubia (Bl.) Backer and Trapa bispinosa Roxb.

Design of plasmonic Ag-TiO/HPWO composite film with enhanced sunlight photocatalytic activity towards o-chlorophenol degradation.

A series of plasmonic Ag-TiO/HPWO composite films were fabricated and immobilized by validated preparation technique. The chemical composition and phase, optical, SPR effect and pore-structure properties together with the morphology of as-prepared composite film are well-characterized. The multi-synergies of as-prepared composite films were gained by combined action of electron-capture action via HPWO, visible-response induced by Ag, and Schottky-junction formed between TiO-Ag.
