Abstract

Zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO₂ NPs) were synthesized using simple, lucrative and easily scalable flame pyrolysis method by directly burning the precursor solution in air. ZrO₂ NPs were collected in the form of white soot one from cold surface of conical Flask (F-ZrO₂ NPs) and another from direct crucible (C-ZrO₂ NPs). The synthesized ZrO₂ NPs were characterized by various techniques viz., Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM). The synthesised ZrO₂ NPs demonstrated the monoclinic (m-ZrO₂) and tetragonal (t-ZrO₂) mixed phases with an average crystalline size of 16.96 nm. The morphological analysis elucidated the uniform distribution of spherically shaped ZrO₂ NPs. The dye degradation performance of synthesized nanoparticles was experienced for the complexed structured Methylene Blue (MB) azo dye meant for environmental applications. The synthesized nanoparticles demonstrated excellent dye removal efficiency of 97.90% along with successful reusability up to six cycles for removal of aqueous Methylene Blue (MB) hazardous colorant dye. So, the synthesised ZrO₂ NPs designated as finest contender for the wastewater treatment and various environmental applications.

通过染料吸附火焰合成氧化锆纳米粒子，点亮绿色未来

通过在空气中直接燃烧前驱体溶液，使用简单、有利可图且易于扩展的火焰热解方法合成了二氧化锆纳米粒子（ZrO2 NPs）。ZrO2 NPs 以白色烟尘的形式从锥形烧瓶的冷表面（F-ZrO2 NPs）和直接坩埚（C-ZrO2 NPs）收集。合成的 ZrO2 NPs 采用多种技术进行表征，包括傅立叶变换红外光谱 (FT-IR)、X 射线衍射 (XRD)、紫外可见吸收光谱、能量色散 X 射线光谱 (EDS)、扫描电子显微镜 (SEM)、透射电子显微镜 (TEM)、场发射扫描电子显微镜 (FE-SEM)、高分辨率透射电子显微镜 (HR-TEM)。合成的 ZrO2 NPs 呈单斜（m-ZrO2）和四方（t-ZrO2）混合相，平均结晶尺寸为 16.96 nm。形态分析表明，球形 ZrO2 NPs 分布均匀。对于用于环境应用的络合结构亚甲基蓝（MB）偶氮染料，对合成纳米粒子的染料降解性能进行了体验。合成的纳米颗粒具有 97.90% 的出色染料去除率，并可成功重复使用六次，用于去除水性亚甲基蓝 (MB) 危险着色剂染料。因此，合成的 ZrO2 NPs 被指定为废水处理和各种环境应用的最佳竞争者。
