Efficient Fenton-like La–Cu–O/SBA-15 catalyst for the degradation of organic dyes under ambient conditions†
Abstract
Fenton-like La–Cu–O/SBA-15 catalyst is highly efficient for dye degradation, due to a synergistic effect between La–Cu–O and SBA-15, in which La–Cu–O is the active site of the reaction and SBA-15 acts as a gallery to adsorb and transport the organic dyes from solution to the surface of La–Cu–O.
