The effect of foam-like 3D graphene (3DG) in an electron transport material (ETM), viz. ZnO thin film, on the steady-state photoluminescence (PL), light-harvesting efficiency (LHE), photocurrent density (JSC), photovoltage (VOC), and charge transport...
Photocytotoxic activity sensitized by 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[4-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropoxy)phenyl]chlorin (TAPC) was investigated in Candida albicans under different culture conditions. Planktonic cells incubated with 2.5 μM TAPC were eradicated afte...
This study investigated the decolorization of Remazol Black (RBB) using a TiO2 photocatalyst modified by S and Co co-doped TiO2 (S-Co-TiO2) from a single precursor. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microsc...
The search of new organic emitters is receiving a strong motivation by the development of ORTP materials. In the present study we report on the preparation, optical and photophysical characterization, by both steady state and time resolved techniques...
Pure g-C3N4 sample was prepared by thermal treatment of melamine at 520 °C, and iron-modified samples (0.1, 0.3 and 1.1 wt.%) were prepared by mixing g-C3N4 with iron nitrate and calcination at 520 °C. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared mate...
In recent years, the formulation of innovative photocatalysts activated by visible or solar light has been attracting increasing attention because of their notable potential for environmental remediation and use in organic synthesis reactions [...]
The concept of “Photoredox Catalysis” for organic molecules was reported by Sakurai and Pac in 1977 [...]
A Photoinduced dearomative nucleophilic addition to N-Boc indoles mediated by two-molecule organic photoredox catalysts such as phenanthrene and 1,4-dicyanobenzene with UV irradiation furnished 2-substituted indolines in moderate to quantitative yiel...
More than three decades of research efforts have yielded powerful methodologies based on transition metal template-directed syntheses for the assembly of a huge number of interlocked systems, molecular knots, machines and synthesizers. Such template...
Cancer is considered one of the major public health problems worldwide. Among the therapeutic approaches investigated and used so far, the combined use of photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) therapies have shown promising results for in vivo st...
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the stable and potential metal oxide semiconductor nanomaterials with flexible properties which allows them to be used in a variety of applications (i.e., environmental remediation, energy storage and production, and...
In this study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) decorated on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) heterostructure catalysts at various weight ratios (0.5%, 1%, 3%, 10%, w/w) were successfully prepared via a two-step hydrothermal synthesis preparation method....
For the first time, heterostructures of electrospun carbon nanofibers decorated with Ag3PO4 nanoparticles (Ag3PO4/CNFs) were successfully fabricated by the combination of simple and versatile electrospinning technique followed by carbonization and in...
This mini review summarizes the preparation and testing of polymeric composites with a N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst to effectively design a photocatalytic system for water pollutant degradation under visible light. In detail, the various N-doped TiO2/p...
This article covers the structural and optical property analysis of the sillenite Bi12NiO19 (BNO) in order to characterize a new catalyst that could be used for environmental applications. BNO crystals were produced by the combustion method using Pol...
