Structure, Optical Properties, and Photocatalytic Activity towards H2 Generation and CO2 Reduction of GaN Nanowires via Vapor-Liquid-Solid Process by Hong Pang, Lequan Liu, Shuxin Ouyang, Hua Xu, Yunxiang Li, Defa Wang

“…Morphology, crystal structure, and optical property of the as-synthesized GaN nanowires are characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, and room temperature photoluminescence. The results indicate that the as-prepared GaN nanowires with a large aspect ratio are well crystallized in the hexagonal wurtzite structure, and a slight blue shift appears in both the absorption edge and emission peak probably due to the quantization effect. …”

Study of Dyes and Methods of Their Removal, with a Focus on Studying Their Removal using Photocatalysts Based on Polyoxometalates: Review by Wisam Abdalhusain Jabbar, Marwa F. Abdul Jabbar

“…By studying two types of Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) and phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) due to the good possibility of loading these acids on other materials using mixing and precipitation ways and without the need for high temperatures, as they are prepared at room temperature. They are also solid materials that are easy to separate, quickly dissolve in water, non-toxic, and do not release dangerous gases, which led to the need to use them in removing dyes, as they gave high efficiency. …”
