Synergized Mechanistic and Solar Photocatalysis Features of N-TiO2 Functionalised Activated Carbon

A TiO2 photocatalysts was successfully functionalised by employing nitrogen (N) as a dopant on activated carbon (AC) support as synergist. Two different types of activated carbon adopting namely Garcinia mangostana and palm shell as precursor were chosen as an activated carbon support. Thus the synt...
