Characterization of Nanostructures containing WO3, MoO3, TiO2 and ZnO Photoelectrocatalytic Degradation of the Pesticide Imazalil

Abstract

The dataset contains the data that have been used to synthesize and characterize different types of nanostructures (WO3, WO3-Mo, TiO2, and TiO2-ZnO) for a comparison of hybrid and pure nanostructures to use them as a photoanodes for photoelectrocatalytic degradation of emerging contaminants. A structural and compositional characterization was performed using Raman confocal laser spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Photoelectrochemical characterization of nanostructures was performed by Photoelectrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (PEIS), Mott-Schottky (M-S), and Water Splitting (WS) tests. Finally, the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of the pesticide Imazalil was carried out with the best optimized nanostructure (TiO2-ZnO).
