Abstract
In this research, a mesoporous Mn/Fe/N-doped ZnO nanocomposite was developed via solvothermal synthesis, focusing on its optical and magnetic potentials for dye degradation. FTIR spectroscopy identified unique functional groups, while EDX analysis confirmed its elemental composition. BET analysis showcased an expanded surface area due to mesoporosity, evidenced by a type IV isotherm. UV-Visible spectroscopy revealed a red shift and optical band gap reduction from 3.13 to 2.68 eV, indicating improved light absorption. SEM provided insights into distinctive morphologies, and PL studies showed reduced electron-hole recombination in highly doped samples. SQUID measurements verified the nanocomposite’s ferromagnetic characteristics. These properties collectively enhance its photocatalytic efficacy against Congo red and Methylene blue dyes, presenting a viable solution for environmental clean-up.
