Interfacial charge transfer in a gallium oxide/covalent organic framework heterojunction for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), particularly perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are highly persistent pollutants owing to their strong CF bonds and exceptional chemical stability. Herein, a sp2-conjugated covalent organic framework (COF)/gallium oxide (Ga2O3) heterojunction was constructed through an in situ gr...

Versatile Co3O4@metal oxide nanocomposites: from photocatalytic pollutant degradation to high-efficiency energy supercapacitor storage

Co3O4-based heterojunction nanocomposites (Co3O4@M-Ox; where M = Zn, Ti or Cu) were synthesized using a simple, cost-effective, eco-friendly hydrothermal method. These nanocomposites can be used in a variety of applications. Characterisation using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),...
