Duality in the Mechanism of Hexagonal ZnO/CuxO Nanowires Inducing Sulfamethazine Degradation under Solar or Visible Light

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Jiajie Yu

This study presents the first evidence for the photocatalytic performance of ZnO/CuxO hexagonal nanowires leading to sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation. The chemical composition of the nanowires was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The sample with the ...

Evidence for a dual mechanism in the TiO2/CuxO photocatalyst during the degradation of sulfamethazine under solar or visible light: Critical issues

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Jiajie Yu

This study presents the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine (SMT) on TiO2/CuxO nanotubes (NTs) by a differentiated mechanism under low intensity solar light and indoor visible light irradiation. In the presence of TiO2/CuxO nanotubes, the SMT-degr ...

Quantification of the local magnetized nanotube domains accelerating the photocatalytic removal of the emerging pollutant tetracycline

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Juan Kiwi, Ivica Zivkovic, Sami Rtimi, Jiajie Yu

( )Evidence is presented for the enhanced photodegradation of tetracycline (TC) by AgxO/FeOx/ZnO nanotubes (NTs) compared to AgxO/ZnO nanotubes under low-intensity solar light irradiation. A higher amount of the local magnetic domains with random orientati ...

Magnetically separable TiO2/FeOx/POM accelerating the photocatalytic removal of the emerging endocrine disruptor: 2,4-dichlorophenol

Sami Rtimi, Jiajie Yu

This study presents the magnetically separable TiO2/FeOx microstructure decorated with poly-oxo-tungstate (POM) leading to the endocrine disruptor 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) under low intensity solar light. The fastest 2,4-DCP degradation kinetics was ob ...
