The synthetic methodology consists on direct UV irradiation of an aqueous solution containing graphene oxide (GO), Na-2[Mo6Br8(N-3)(6)], HAuCl4 center dot 3H(2)O and isopropanol at room temperature in air using a UV fiber lamp. The composite material exhibits very high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradation. The resulting nanohybrid material was characterized using Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

	abstract = {<p>Effective photocatalytic degradation of organic toxic dyes from industrial effluents using low-cost nanomaterials as a photocatalyst under sunlight promises for water purification and environmental recovery. The present work is focused on the synthesis of Palladium (Pd) loaded g-C3N4/WO(3)nanocomposite using a facile method and its photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) using under sunlight. The results of the photocatalytic dye degradation experiment show that Pd loaded g-C3N4/WO(3)nanocomposite photocatalyst degrades 98\% of RhB in 40 min of sunlight illumination. This remarkable photocatalytic degradation performance of Pd loaded g-C3N4/WO(3)nanocomposite mainly attributed due to their intrinsic photocatalytic activity and co-existence of enhanced light absorbance and efficient charge transfer process in between the g-C3N4/WO(3)heterojunction. The durability testing experiments indicate that Pd loaded g-C3N4/WO(3)nanocomposite photocatalyst could be effectively reused and possesses high photochemical structural stability even after several recycle process. Present experimental results demonstrated highly encouraging photo-degradation response of Pd loaded g-C3N4/WO(3)nanocomposite photocatalyst at outdoor conditions paves the way for the development of energy conversion and environmental remediation process.</p>

The sensor L1 allows naked eye detection of Cu2+ ion with a fast response (<1 min). Among the various metal ions tested, the sensor L1 shows selective binding with Cu2+ through turn-on fluorescence mechanism. The sensor shows 1 : 2 binding stoichiometry with binding constant},
