• SnO2 NPs, and this is the first report on using a SnO2 photocatalyst with NP morphology for the NO degradation. The photocatalytic mechanism of SnO2 NPs is based on electrons and holes to generate reactive radicals. Figure 7 shows that the photocatalytic NO removal efficacy of SnO2 NPs achieved 63.37

If the plasma is generated in an argon/reactive gas mixture R+, R2+, R2+, and MRx+ ions (with R being, e.g., O or N) can also be found; (3) chemically reactive radicals such as O or N atoms produced through dissociation reactions during reactive sputtering. O atoms can

Transport mechanism of these plasma species and growth kinetics of carbon nanomaterials in PECVD has been extensively explained by Munoz and co-workers [26]. The density and energy of these plasma species depend on the plasma power, position of the

The electrons in the conduction band react with O2 to form superoxide anion radicals (O2−•) and the holes in the valence band react with water to form hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The activated
