Highly efficient and quite stable composite with core-shell-like architecture reported herein,
responds to the challenge of sunlight-driven photocatalysts. The Ln (ndc)/TiO2 …

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO 2)-based nanofibers doped with samarium (Sm 3+) and
erbium (Er 3+) at do** levels tuned in the range of 0.05–1.0% were prepared by the …

In the present research, the properties of ultraviolet (UV) visible (daylight invisible)
fluorescent coatings modified by the addition of SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles were studied …

Passive solar photocatalysis is one of the most efficient ways for the treatment of dye
industry wastewater. Some dyes such as methyl orange are recalcitrant to photolysis; …

Photocatalytic technology is a “green”, environmentally friendly, energy-saving technology,
which is considered to be an ideal method for removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) …

In this work, well-designed zinc oxide-reduced graphene oxide (ZnO-rGO) nanorods (NRs)
were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using electrospun ZnO-rGO seed layers. The …
