Engineered NiO/TiO2 and CuO/NiO/TiO2 heterojunctions for sustainable direct photocatalytic epoxidation of propylene using molecular oxygen

Abstract The selective photocatalytic epoxidation of propylene using molecular oxygen under UV-A irradiation presents a promising sustainable alternative for propylene oxide (PO) production. In this study, NiO/TiO2 and CuO/NiO/TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts were synthesized via the thermal annea...
