Investigation of physico-chemical parameters for the photocatalysis of ibuprofen degradation by Scheelite BaWO4 semiconductor
摘要
Semiconductor photocatalytic materials have demonstrated considerable potential in environmental pollution applications as an advanced oxidation process (AOP). BaWO4 synthesized by co-precipitation is a single phase crystallizing in the Scheelite-type structure with quadratic symmetry, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction; its band gap (2.95 eV) is attributed to the charge transfer: O2−: 2p → W6+: eg: level. A flat band potential of 0.20 VSCE with
