Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental and first-principles DFT studies of electronic, optical and magnetic properties of cerium–manganese codoped zinc oxide nanostructures

TL;DR: In this article, structural, optical and magnetic properties of codoped ZnO nanoparticles have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), diffuse reflectance spectrography (DRS), photoluminescence spectrograms (PL) and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of CeO2 coupling on the structural, optical and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoparticle

TL;DR: In this article, the microwave assisted combustion synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic applications of ZnO-CeO 2 coupled nano metal oxide were presented, without using any organic solvent or surfactant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalytic degradation of textile-dyeing wastewater by using a microwave combustion-synthesized zirconium oxide supported activated carbon

TL;DR: In this article, a simple microwave irradiation method was used to synthesize Zirconium oxide nanoparticles supported activated carbon (ZrSAC) composites, which were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), high resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM) with energy dispersive Xray analysis (EDX), Xray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS), and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) surface area analyzer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalytic degradation of phenolic syntan using TiO2 impregnated activated carbon

TL;DR: UV-Visible studies substantiated the occurrence of bathochromic and hyperchromic effects as a result of ring opening in the PS molecule and X-ray studies revealed the formation of catalytically active anatase phase in Ti-AC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immobilization of polyphenol oxidase onto mesoporous activated carbons -- isotherm and kinetic studies.

TL;DR: Investigations were carried out in batch modes for studying the immobilization behavior of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) on two different mesoporous activated carbon matrices and non-linear pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intraparticle diffusion models were evaluated to understand the mechanism of immobilization.
