Photocatalysis is one potential solution to the energy and environmental crisis and greatly
relies on the development of the catalysts. Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), a typically nontoxic …

This paper evaluates the feasibility of using niobium-based catalysts for the
photodegradation of organic dyes. The metal oxides were prepared using niobium scraps …

A succession of zinc oxide supported carbon dots (C ZnO-dots) was fabricated from gum
ghatti via a single-pot and straightforward microwave process. The as-fabricated C ZnO-dots …

Ultrathin HNb3O8 nanosheets (HNb3O8 NSs) with oxygen vacancies were successfully
synthesized by a simple bottom-up hydrothermal process. The obtained nanosheets were …

This work demonstrates the application of crystalline Nb 2 O 5 powders with different phases
as photocatalysts in the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The crystalline structure and …

A new rapid and energy saving method for the obtention of high performance nanoparticles
and thin films of Nb2O5 by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis is reported. The …

This article reports the characterization of mesoporous Nb2O5 synthesized by the sol-gel
method for application in photocatalysis. The emerging contaminant methylviologen was …

TiO2 nanoparticles with surface porosity were prepared by a simple and efficient method
and presented for the removal of malachite green (MG), a representative organic pollutant …

Abstract Porous NiO/Nb 2 O 5 nanocomposites with Ni/Nb molar ratio of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2
have been obtained via the EISA route using P123 copolymer as organic template, and are …

The elucidation of photocatalysis and adsorption mechanisms in the pollutant removal, as
well as the efficiency for each process, provide key information for polluted water …
