Biomimetic Porous CuO/ZnO S‑Scheme Heterojunction for Highly Efficient Sunlight-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sunlight-driven photocatalysis is at the forefront of sustainable technologies for the remediation of organic pollutants in industrial wastewater. In this study, we present the innovative synthesis of porous microspheres based on an S-scheme CuO/ZnO composite photocatalyst, inspired by the unique morphology of dried resurrection plants. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of highly crystalline CuO and ZnO phases, while UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy revealed exceptional sunlight harvesting capabilities, with optical absorption spanning the solar spectrum and a narrow bandgap of 1.4 eV. Under optimal conditions, the photocatalyst achieved a remarkable 97% degradation of Rhodamine B dye within just 60 min of solar irradiation. Systematic evaluation across varying compositions, pH values, and catalyst loadings highlighted robust photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the composite demonstrated outstanding stability and reusability, retaining high activity over more than five consecutive cycles. This full-solar-spectrum-active, biomimetic photocatalyst offers a promising platform for the efficient, sunlight-driven purification of hazardous organic effluents, with significant implications for environmental sustainability and public health.
