Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, a process that directly produces hydrogen from
water and sunlight using semiconductor materials, is an attractive form of renewable energy …

The photocatalytic performance of CdS-PbS immobilized on a magnetized natural
clinoptilolite (MCNP) surface was evaluated for cefotaxime (CT) degrading. The synthesized …

In this work, a facile method allowing for estimation of the exponent in the Tauc equation
directly from the UV–vis spectra is presented. It is based on the Taylor expansion of the …

The twentieth century has brought enormous developments in instrumentation for chemical
analysis. However, most of the state-of-the-art analytical instruments still require a …

The Tauc plot is widely used to determine the bandgap of semiconductors, but the actual
plot often exhibits significant baseline absorption below the expected bandgap, leading to …

An automated method to determine the band gap energy (E g) of pure and mixed powder
compounds using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is presented. This method is based on a …

We use a solid-state method to synthesize single crystals of perovskite-phase cesium lead
iodide (γ-CsPbI3) that are kinetically stable at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray …

Despite implementing several methodologies including a combination of physical, chemical
and biological techniques, aquatic and microbial pollution remains a challenge to this day …

In this study, a binary BiOI/(BiO) 2 CO 3 catalyst was prepared and used for sulfasalazine
(SSZ) photodegradation in an aqueous phase. The semiconductors were identified by XRD …

Copper-doped TiO2 was prepared with a sol–gel chemical method. Various concentrations
(3, 6, and 9 wt%) of Cu dopant were employed. Several techniques were implemented to …
