摘要
In this study, aqueous Cystoseira crinite extract was used to successfully biosynthesize ZnO and C-doped ZnO samples. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), FTIR, and UV-vis techniques were used to characterize the biosynthesized samples. XRD technique confirmed the crystalline structure of ZnO and C-doped ZnO. EDX confirmed the formation of C-doped ZnO. SEM analysis revealed the spherical shape of the samples with agglomeration. FTIR spectra showed that phenolic compounds and protein molecules are present in the Cystoseira crinite extract. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared photocatalysts was investigated using crystal violet (CV) as a model of the cationic dyes and methyl orange (MO) as a model of the anionic dyes. 5%C-doped ZnO calcined at 500 degrees C showed an optimum photocatalytic efficiency of 92.7% and 87.8% for CV and MO dyes, respectively. The improved photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the narrower optical band gap of C doped ZnO than pure ZnO. The photocatalytic activity of CV and MO dyes follows the first-order kinetics with high correlation coefficient values.
