Enhancing the photocatalytic elimination of acephate residues using Ni0 doped and diatomite-supported NiO: optimization, pathway, and toxicity

NiO nanoparticles were synthesized and modified with Ni 0 in the form of Ni/NiO blend and supported on a porous diatomite substrate, forming hybrid structures of NiO/D and Ni@NiO/D with enhanced photocatalytic performances.
