Nano-architected titania/gold@GO nanosheets for sonocatalytic degradation of azo dyes in textile wastewater

Environmental pollution is creating serious risks to both human health and the atmosphere which has been a major threat on a global scale. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the evolution of the environment and trace contaminants for effective and reliable detection and degradation methods. Phot...
