Abstract
Wastewater containing toxic compounds poses health hazards to living beings. Current research focuses on the degradation of malachite green (MG) as a hazardous pollutant dye by using tire scrap-derived activated carbon (AC) to develop nanocomposites with ZnO by hydrothermal method. The morphology, crystal quality, electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), EIS, antibacterial activity, and optical and photo luminance aspects were studied. The morphology was studied by SEM. The crystalline and elemental composition study was performed using XRD and FTIR, respectively. UV-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence were employed for optical studies. The ZnO@C nanocomposite exhibited a nanorod-like shape and hexagonal phase. The role of AC in ZnO@C composite was investigated for the removal of MG under UV illumination. Results exhibited that the degradation rate for MG was highly dependent upon dye concentration and pH. Furthermore, an antibacterial study was performed on the nanocomposites. A significant reduction in the band gap (12.6%) was achieved with excellent degradation efficiency of 100%. These results suggest that tire scrap waste could produce a new class of carbon materials for various applications, especially in the energy, environment, and biomedical sectors.
Research Highlights
- Synthesis of ZnO@C nanocomposites via simple hydrothermal method.
- XRD, SEM, EDS, FTIR and TEM exhibited structural and compositional characterization.
- The photocatalytic performance and band gaps were measured using UV-Vis and PL spectroscopy analyses of the fluorescence of the photocatalyst.
- ECSA analysis demonstrated a specific capacitance of 7.822 μFcm-2 at 130 mVs-1, indicating charge storage capability.
- CV and EIS results provided the quantified measurement of resistance to charge transfer 2.875 Ω.
- This study addresses the ability and capability towards photocatalytic degradation using novel scrap tire-derived Activated Carbon-based ZnO@C nanocomposites.
