    Investigation of hybrid plasmons in a highly crystalline Bi2Se3/C60 heterostructure using low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy

    Sample Preparation

    C60 films form an ideal, stable molecular overlayer for the study of Bi2Se3/molecule heterostructures due to their high electron affinity and chemical robustness. Highly crystalline, pure C60 films are robust to STEM…

  • Synergistic effects of electric current and GAs/Bi₂O₃/ZIF-67 photocatalysis on graphite in a planar microreactor applied for tetracycline degradation and kinetic pathway analysis

    Synergistic effects of electric current and GAs/Bi₂O₃/ZIF-67 photocatalysis on graphite in a planar microreactor applied for tetracycline degradation and kinetic pathway analysis

    In this research, a planar microreactor was used for the photocatalytic degradation of TC. Factors of the ratio of pollutant concentration to catalyst load, pH, and retention time were investigated using experimental design at three levels. Also,…
