Environmental Remediation of Toxic Organic Pollutants Using Visible-Light-Activated Cu/La/CeO₂/GO Nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: Environmental pollution is a major threat that increases day by day due to various activities. A wide variety of organic pollutants enter the environment due to petrochemical activities. Organic contamination can be unsafe, oncogenic, and lethal. Due to environmental issues worldwide, scientists and research communities are focusing their research efforts on this area. For the removal of toxic organic pollutants from the environment, photocatalysis-assisted degradation processes have gained more attention than other advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In this manuscript, we report a novel photocatalysis of copper and lanthanum incorporating cerium oxide (CeO₂) loaded on graphene oxide (Cu/La/CeO₂/GO) nanocomposites successfully synthesized by hydrothermal techniques.
