Sonophotocatalytic degradation of Acid Blue 113 in the presence of rare earth nanoclusters loaded TiO2 nanophotocatalysts

- Commercial sonicator (42 kHz) utilized for all the sonochemical reactions.
- RE nanoclusters are identified at the surface of the TiO2 by STEM-HAADF analysis.
- Enhanced surface area was noticed for the RE loaded TiO2 nanophotocatalysts.
- Additive effect was observed for combination of two advanced oxidation processes.
