Article Abstract

A cubic SrTiO (STO) composite material co-doped with Ce and Cr ions was synthesized by solvothermal method. The fully characterized samples were employed as photocatalysts for the oxidation of Hg. The co-doped samples afforded excellent catalytic removal efficiency of 98.99% using UV irradiation and 89.9% using visible light irradiation for Hg compared with the single-doped samples. It was found that co-doped samples had a lower electron-hole recombination rate, largest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area, and reduced band gap. The electron spin resonance results revealed that ·O and ·OH were the main active species in the catalytic process. Moreover, the co-doped samples exhibited the best electron transfer rate and the highest photocurrent response intensity. The electron transfer between the elements in the co-doped sample enables it to achieve stable and efficient catalytic performance. In addition, even after five consecutive catalytic runs, the co-doped sample maintained high catalytic activity. This work highlights the potential of the perovskite-type STO materials in the photocatalytic oxidation of gaseous mercury.

Nowadays, the limited electronic conductivity and structural deterioration during battery cycling have hindered the widespread application of NaV(PO) (NVP). In response to these challenges, we advocate for a technique involving the application of carbon modifications to NVP to enhance its suitability as cathode material. This work involves the synthesis of N/Cl co-modified in situ carbon coatings derived from clozapine (CZP) through a facile hydrothermal route.
