Ce3+-ion-induced visible-light photocatalytic degradation and electrochemical activity of ZnO/CeO2 nanocomposite
Open accessAbstract
In this study, pure ZnO, CeO 2 and ZnO/CeO 2 nanocomposites were synthesized using a thermal decomposition method and subsequently characterized using different standard techniques. High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements confirmed the oxidation states and presence of Zn 2+, Ce 4+, Ce 3+ and different bonded oxygen species in the nanocomposites. The prepared pure ZnO and CeO 2 as well as the ZnO/CeO 2 nanocomposites with various proportions of ZnO and CeO 2 were tested for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange, methylene blue and phenol under visible-light irradiation. The optimized and highly efficient ZnO/CeO 2 (90:10) nanocomposite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance for the degradation of methyl orange, methylene blue and phenol as well as industrial textile effluent compared to ZnO, CeO 2 and the other investigated nanocomposites. Moreover, the recycling results demonstrate that the ZnO/CeO 2 (90:10) nanocomposite exhibited good stability and long-term durability. Furthermore, the prepared ZnO/CeO 2 nanocomposites were used for the electrochemical detection of uric acid and ascorbic acid. The ZnO/CeO 2 (90:10) nanocomposite also demonstrated the best detection, sensitivity and performance among the investigated materials in this application. These findings suggest that the synthesized ZnO/CeO 2 (90:10) nanocomposite could be effectively used in various applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
