Facile green synthesis of ZnO/ZrO2 nanocomposite for photocatalytic degradation and chromium (VI) reduction
In the field of nanoscience, using plant materials to create nanoparticles (NPs) is becoming growing in popularity and offers a number of benefits over physicochemical techniques. The green combustion approach effectively synthesized ZnO/ZrO2 nanocomposite (NCs) using powdered Butea monosperma (BM) leaf as the green fuel. The nature of NCs was confirmed through (X-ray Diffraction) XRD revealed that presence of hexagonal ZnO and cubic of ZrO2 phase. The morphology of NCs as seen by (Scanning Electron Microscopy) SEM and (Transmission Electron Microscopy) TEM reveals a fair distribution and non-uniform spherical shape. (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis) EDAX pattern indicates the presence of zinc, zirconium and oxygen components. (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) FT-IR spectrum obtained the metal–oxygen bonding in NCs. By applying the Tauc relation to calculate the optical energy band gap value of the sample is 3.34 eV. UV light is used to conduct the investigation of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The NCs have superior degradation efficiency up to 99 % dye degradation is performed in 150 min. Furthermore, NCs exhibit a hazardous chromium (VI) decrease of up to 62 %. The collected results demonstrated that ZnO/ZrO2 NCs are the best photocatalyst for MB degradation and chromium reduction.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
