Synergistic C-TiO/ZIF-8 type II heterojunction photocatalyst for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue.

Zinc imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) and titanium dioxide (TiO) have been extensively studied as photocatalysts and have shown remarkable potential. In this study, we report the synthesis of a type II heterojunction photocatalyst based on carbon-doped TiO (C-TiO) and ZIF-8 as a potentially improved material for solar light-harvested methylene blue (MB) degradation. Pure ZIF-8 has a wide band gap of 4.

Antimicrobial activity of synthesized graphene oxide-selenium nanocomposites: A mechanistic insight.

Nanoparticles have recently gained interest as an anti-bacterial agent due to their large surface area/volume ratio and potential to compromise the integrity of bacterial cell membranes. Due to its versatility and anti-bacterial activity, graphene-based materials have drawn significant interest in biomedical applications. One of the greatest threats to life in the modern technological era is the pervasiveness of infectious diseases since bacteria cells are constantly updating themselves to resist antibiotics.
