Journal of Photocatalysis - Volume 3, Issue 1, 2022

Within the current production systems, the need for low environmental impact processes to produce chemicals, the treatment of aqueous effluents and the production of fuels is becoming an increasingly urgent challenge. In this context, photoelectrocatalysis (PEC), which couples the electrochemical method (EC) with photocatalysis (PC), can be considered a valid alternative to traditional catalytic processes. It increase Read More

Background: Green and sustainable method for the oxidation of aldehydes into acids is now in demand as carboxylic acids are important and versatile intermediates. In this context, visible LED light-promoted aerial oxidation can be efficient and greener protocol.Objective: Herein, we have demonstrated a visible LED light-promoted efficient and greener protocol for the aerial oxidation of aromatic aldehydes into correspondi Read More

Background: Even though silver decorated reduced graphene oxide (Ag-rGO) shows maximum absorptivity in the UV region, most of the research on the degradation of dyes using Ag-rGO is in the visible region. Therefore the present work focused on the photocatalytic degradation of indigo carmine (IC) dye in the presence of Ag-rGO as a catalyst by UV light irradiation.Methods: In this context, silver-decorated reduced graph Read More

Background: Recent years have seen the increased use of antibiotics and hormones in domestic, agricultural and healthcare applications. As a result, waste streams contain more and more of these compounds, which eventually end up in the environment, where they might cause serious damage to flora and fauna, even in miniscule amounts. This issue is currently not resolved by conventional waste treatment plants, as t Read More
