Harnessing slow photons in 3D silica photonic crystals for efficient and catalyst-free removal of chromophoric organic pollutants
Source abstract
Abstract
Chemically inert SiO 2 inverse opals act as a catalyst-free purification platform that synergizes adsorption and slow photon effect to enhance pollutants degradation, accelerating reaction kinetics up to 17-fold while maintaining high regenerability.
