Abstract

In this study, we are reporting the reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic response of graphite (Gr) intercalated tin oxide (SnO₂) nanophotocatalysts. These nanocomposites were prepared using sonication method and characterized by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), UV–Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The XRD spectra confirmed average crystallite size of the order of 29 nm and the XRD patterns showed the presence of the tetragonal structure. Crystallite size was calculated using Debye–Scherrer’s and Williamson-Hall (WH) equations. The degradation of dye and photocatalytic response were optimized with tuning of various parameters such as ppm level of adsorbate and time response.

期刊介绍： Electrocatalysis is cross-disciplinary in nature, and attracts the interest of chemists, physicists, biochemists, surface and materials scientists, and engineers. Electrocatalysis provides the unique international forum solely dedicated to the exchange of novel ideas in electrocatalysis for academic, government, and industrial researchers. Quick publication of new results, concepts, and inventions made involving Electrocatalysis stimulates scientific discoveries and breakthroughs, promotes the scientific and engineering concepts that are critical to the development of novel electrochemical technologies. Electrocatalysis publishes original submissions in the form of letters, research papers, review articles, book reviews, and educational papers. Letters are preliminary reports that communicate new and important findings. Regular research papers are complete reports of new results, and their analysis and discussion. Review articles critically and constructively examine development in areas of electrocatalysis that are of broad interest and importance. Educational papers discuss important concepts whose understanding is vital to advances in theoretical and experimental aspects of electrochemical reactions.
