Journal ArticleDOI
Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles for photocatalytic disinfection of bacteria under visible light
TL;DR: The prepared oxide is selective in photocatalysis; under UV light, its photocatalytic activity to degrade sunset yellow, rhodamine B, and methylene blue dyes is less than that of the undoped one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of antimicrobial Ce-doped ZnO nanoparticles for photocatalytic detoxification of cyanide
TL;DR: In this article, a Ce-doped ZnOoxide, prepared by sonochemical wet impregnation method and calcined at 500°C, was characterized by XRD, EDS, XPS, SEM, FT-IR, UV-visible DRS, PL, EIS, and N 2 -adsorption and desorption isotherms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical, electrical, photocatalytic, and bactericidal properties of microwave synthesized nanocrystalline Ag–ZnO and ZnO
TL;DR: In this article, the microwave synthesized ZnO exhibits larger bactericidal activity than the commercial ZnOs nanoparticles and doping with Ag by microwave method improves the antibacterial and photocatalytic activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of sol–gel synthesized ZnO and Ag-ZnO
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have synthesized nanocrystalline ZnO and Ag-ZnO by sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive Xray spectrum, scanning electron micrographs and UV-vis diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence and electrochemical impedance spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiconductor-catalyzed degradation of phenols with sunlight
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation rates increase linearly with phenol-concentration and area of the catalyst bed but decrease linearly as pH, and the system does not respond to application of a potential bias for enhancement of the photocatalysis.
