Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Inorganic semiconductor oxides loaded on composite nanofibers (CNFs) have been widely applied in environmental monitoring, industry, aviation, and transportation. In this paper, heterostructured CuO–ZnO-loaded CNF membranes (CNFMs) were prepared successfully by a combination of electrospinning, heat treatment, and hydrothermal synthesis. The influence of the synthesis parameters on morphology, structure, and properties of the CNFMs was investigated, and the optimal process parameters were determined. Then, the CNFMs obtained with optimal process parameters were applied for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange. It was found that the CNFMs could be reused to degrade methyl orange at least three times, and the degradation rate remained above 90%.

Oxide Whisker

Silver-deposited zinc oxide whisker (Ag/ZnOw) composites with different Ag/Zn molar ratios (MRs) were successfully synthesized by a simple method. Subsequently, the structure and properties of these composites were characterized using various tests. It is found that the silver nanoparticles are located on the root of ZnOw, which is beneficial for the antibacterial and photocatalytic performance of ZnOw. The Ag/ZnOw composite exhibits better antibacterial and photocatalytic activities than that of the pure ZnOw, and the efficiency of both properties increase with increasing molar ratio of Ag/Zn. Moreover, the mechanism which governs the photocatalytic property of the composite has also been discussed thoroughly.
