Study nanostructures of semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) as a photocatalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants

In the present study, comparison of  photocatalytic activity of nanostructures semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) was prepared using the different methods on the degradation of organic dye such as methylene blue that was investigated. Previous studies have proved that such semiconductors can degrade most kinds of persistent organic pollutants, such as detergents, dyes, pesticides and volatile […]

Synthesis and characterization ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites: Investigation of photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Congo Red under visible light irradiation

In the present investigation, ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method and were calcined at 300 °C for 3 h. Synthesis of ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites optimized by the different weight percentages. The synthesized photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), […]

Synthesis and characterization of Cobalt Oxide nanoparticles using Momordica charantia and its photocatalytic activity

Synthesizing plant-derived nanoparticles attract attention due to both their broad-spectrum biological applications and sustainable production. This paper describes the production of Cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4 NPs) using M. charantia leaf extract. The Uv–Vis absorption spectrum of them has peaks at 309 and 595nm. FTIR spectroscopy reveals bands at 580cm-1 and 667cm-1 and confirms the formation […]
