Photocatalytic Degradation of Diclofenac Using Al2O3-Nd2O3 Binary Oxides Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method

This paper reports the sol-gel synthesis of Al2O3-Nd2O3 (Al-Nd-x; x = 5%, 10%, 15% and 25% of Nd2O3) binary oxides and the photodegradation of diclofenac activated by UV light. Al-Nd-based catalysts were analyzed by N-2 physisorption, XRD, TEM, SEM, UV-Vis and PL spectroscopies. The inclusion of Nd2...
