Using BCN nanostructure as anode electrode for photoelectrocatalytic degradation of organics: a statistical approach
In this study, boron carbon nitride (BCN) nanostructures were used as a photocatalyst which was synthesized in a chemical vapor deposition reactor. Photoelectrocatalysis was used for degradation organic pollutants from produced water. BCN nanostructures were coated on a coil-type copper wire to act...
