In this review article, the implementation of nanomaterials such as metal oxides and their composites, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, and polymer nanocomposites in wastewater decontamination have been discussed. Nanomaterials have a lot of potentials, due to their high pollution sensing ability and larger surface area. Nanomaterials are ideal for eliminating harmful heavy metals and eradicating severe […]
The nano sized TiO2 and ZnO are the most active photocatalysts. Methylene blue was used as a reference molecule for the photocatalytic degradation. The TiO2 and ZnO can totally remove methylene blue dye. The effect of various process parameters like initial concentration, contact time, dose of catalyst and pH on the extent of removal of […]
Un-doped and Cd-doped ZnZrO3/ZnO/ZrO2 nano composites (CDZZ-NCPs) (CD0-4) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The nano composites were characterized by various techniques such as Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDS). The photocatalytic properties of CDZZ-NCPs (CD0-4) were studied by degradation of […]
With the emerging newer energy storage applications, transition metal vanadates are booming up as a better catalyst. Among all the transition metal vanadates, nickel vanadate nanoparticles (Ni3V2O8 NPs), are considered as a promising material with electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activity. We herein report circular and ovular structured Ni3V2O8 NPs by hydrothermal route without using any capping […]
