Abstract

In the present work, tackle the two issues with one single activity resource that strategy has followed. The organic dye methyl orange (MO) and drug ciprofloxacin (CIP) have been effectively degraded by the synthesized ZnO@CuO under visible light irradiation. The hexagonal structured zinc oxide (ZnO), monoclinic structured copper oxide (CuO) and the mixed phase of ZnO@CuO has been prepared by the hydrothermal method. The structural characterization of prepared materials has been analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD) and the Rietveld refinement technique. The surface morphology of synthesized materials has been measured by scanning electron microscope characterization. The luminescence performance of prepared materials has studied by photoluminescence (PL) characterization. The photocatalytic results suggest that the ZnO@CuO composite is the effective candidate of degradation of ciprofloxacin antibiotic drug and methyl orange dye. From the results, ZnO@CuO revealed excellent photocatalytic behavior for CIP and MO degradation under stimulated sun light irradiation with the efficiency of above 95%. In addition, the optimum parameters were analyzed to the degradation process. This type of affordable photocatalyst gives a new beginning for further research studies. In addition, the electron density distribution analysis of synthesized materials has been studied.

可见光嵌入CuO/ZnO的光催化和光致发光双重执行

在目前的工作中，用战略所遵循的单一活动资源来解决这两个问题。合成的有机染料甲基橙（MO）和药物环丙沙星（CIP）被有效降解ZnO@CuO在可见光照射下。六方结构的氧化锌（ZnO）、单斜结构的氧化铜（CuO）和ZnO@CuO已通过水热法制备。通过粉末X射线衍射（P-XRD）和Rietveld细化技术对所制备的材料的结构表征进行了分析。用扫描电子显微镜表征了合成材料的表面形貌。通过光致发光（PL）表征研究了所制备材料的发光性能。光催化结果表明ZnO@CuO该复合物是降解环丙沙星类抗生素和甲基橙染料的有效候选者。从结果来看，ZnO@CuO在受激太阳光照射下对CIP和MO的降解表现出优异的光催化行为，效率超过95%。此外，对降解过程的最佳参数进行了分析。这种价格合理的光催化剂为进一步的研究提供了一个新的开端。此外，还对合成材料的电子密度分布分析进行了研究。图形摘要

期刊介绍： While ceramics have traditionally been admired for their mechanical, chemical and thermal stability, their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties have become of increasing importance in many key technologies including communications, energy conversion and storage, electronics and automation. Electroceramics benefit greatly from their versatility in properties including: -insulating to metallic and fast ion conductivity -piezo-, ferro-, and pyro-electricity -electro- and nonlinear optical properties -feromagnetism. When combined with thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, these properties often render them the materials of choice. The Journal of Electroceramics is dedicated to providing a forum of discussion cutting across issues in electrical, optical, and magnetic ceramics. Driven by the need for miniaturization, cost, and enhanced functionality, the field of electroceramics is growing rapidly in many new directions. The Journal encourages discussions of resultant trends concerning silicon-electroceramic integration, nanotechnology, ceramic-polymer composites, grain boundary and defect engineering, etc.
