In the current study, a novel S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was fabricated through a simple hydrothermal method from CeO2 nanoparticles and WO3 nanoplates in presence of tragacanth mucilage as natural surfactant. The prepared heterojunction photocatalyst was used for degradation of Nitenpyram insecticide under visible light irradiation. The successful synthesis of the heterojunction samples was confirmed by […]
In this work, hierarchical WO3 core-shell microspheres were synthesized via a facile template-free precipitation method. Gas sensing properties of the synthesized powder to acetone and some other volatile organic compounds were comparatively investigated with commercial WO3 nanoparticles. The synthesized and commercial powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, particle size distribution analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller […]
