Next-Generation Ternary Nanocomposites for Efficient Photocatalytic Removal of Organic Pollutants

 Title of Presentation:

🔬 Ternary nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of endocrine disruptors

Presenter:
🎤 Prof. Dr. Delia Teresa Sponza, Dokuz Eylul University, Turkey

Presentation Type:
💻 Oral Virtual Presentation


🔑 Research Highlights

Addressing Water Pollution: The removal of toxic organic pollutants such as endocrine disruptors remains one of the biggest environmental challenges.

New Nanocomposites Developed: Two-dimensional S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts – Bi2O3/CdS and MoS2/Bi2O3/CdS – were successfully synthesized using a solvothermal process.

Characterization Techniques: The materials were analyzed with XRD, SEM, XPS, HRTEM, BET, and DRS, ensuring a complete understanding of their properties.

Performance Results:

·         Bi2O3/CdS achieved 86% degradation efficiency.

·         MoS2/Bi2O3/CdS achieved 99% degradation in just 120 minutes under visible light.

Enhanced Mechanism: The outstanding photocatalytic activity of MoS2/Bi2O3/CdS is linked to the S-scheme heterojunction, which promotes charge separation and effective pollutant degradation.
