Synthesis and Optimization of a Highly Stable and Efficient BN/TiO 2 Nanocomposite for Phenol Degradation: A Photocatalytic, Mechanistic and Environmental Impact Study

Different BN/TiO 2 nanocomposites were prepared hydrothermally, and their ratio was optimized to get the best photocatalytic performance towards phenol degradation. They were characterized by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopies coupled with energy dispersive x‐ray units, BET surface area, and UV‐Vis diffuse...
