Superior decontamination of toxic organic pollutants under solar light by reduced graphene oxide incorporated tetrapods-like AgPO/MnFeO hierarchical composites.

To fabricate an efficient, eco-friendly and stable photocatalyst, the current work describes a demonstration of simple synthesis approach of AgPO/MnFeO(x wt%)/reduced graphene oxide composites. AgPO/MnFeO (5 wt%) revealed superior activity for decontamination of dye pollutant. Further, rGO was incorporated with AgPO/MnFeO (5 wt%) to investigate its effect on their overall properties.

Efficient decontamination of toxic phenol pollutant using LaCOOH nanowires decorated AgPO hierarchical composites mediated by metallic Ag.

With the aim to develop an eco-friendly, efficient and stable photocatalyst, the present work reports the synthesis of AgPO/LaCOOH (AP/LC) heterojunction photocatalysts. Different weight ratios of AP/(x wt% LC) were tested to find the best composition for superior photocatalytic activity for dye pollutant degradation. AP/LC (20 wt%) revealed a superior photocatalytic activity.

Growth study of hierarchical AgPO/LaCOOH heterostructures and their efficient photocatalytic activity for RhB degradation.

We have demonstrated the synthesis of AgPO/LaCOOH (APO/LCO) heterostructured photocatalysts by an in situ wet chemical method. From pre-screening evaluations of photocatalysts with APO/(x wt% LCO) composites with mass ratios of x = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 wt%, we found that the APO/LCO (20 wt%) exhibited a superior photocatalytic activity for organic pollutant remediation. Therefore, an optimised photocatalyst APO/LCO (20 wt%) is selected for the present study and we investigate the effect of a mixed solvent system (HO:THF) on the morphology, which has a direct effect on the photocatalytic performance.

Fern-like rGO/BiVO Hybrid Nanostructures for High-Energy Symmetric Supercapacitor.

Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of rGO/BiVO hybrid nanostructures by facile hydrothermal method. Morphological studies reveal that rGO sheets are embedded in the special dendritic fern-like structures of BiVO. The rGO/BiVO hybrid architecture shows the way to a rational design of supercapacitor, since these structures enable easy access of electrolyte ions by reducing internal resistance.
