Emerald eco-synthesis: harnessing oleander for green silver nanoparticle production and advancing photocatalytic MB degradation with TiO2&CuO nanocomposite
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS(2024)
摘要
The tertiary composite of TiO2/CuO @ Ag (TCA) were synthesized by the solid state method using different ratios of TiO2/CuO NCs and Ag NPs. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of nanocomposites were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis/DRS) and photoluminescence spectrophotometry. The results showed enhanced activity of TCA hybrid nano crystals in oxidizing MB in water under visible light irradiation compared to pure TiO2. The photocatalytic performance TCA samples increased with suitable Ag content. The results show that the photo degradation efficiency of the TiO2 compound improved from 13 to 85% in the presence of TiO2-CuO and to 98.87% in the presence of Ag containing TiO2-CuO, which is 7.6 times higher than that of TiO2. Optical characterization results show enhanced nanocomposite absorption in the visible region with long lifetimes between e/h+ at optimal TiO2-CuO/Ag (TCA(2)) ratio. Reusable experiments indicated that the prepared TCA NC photo catalysts were stable during MB photo degradation and had practical applications for environmental remediation.
