Summary: | Herein, we report a simple synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic degradation application of composite NiO-WO₃ nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were synthesized by facile low-temperature method and characterized by several techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The synthesized NiO-WO₃ nanoparticles were used as efficient photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of Eosin yellow (EY) dye. Interestingly, the synthesized photocatalytic exhibited a significant visible-light driven photocatalytic degradation of Eosin yellow (EY) dye. Under optimized conditions (pH = 5, catalyst dosage = 3
M and initial dye concentration= 1.0 g/L), the obtained photo degradation of EY dye was above 95% in 180 min under visible light irradiation. Remarkably, reusability of the prepared photocatalyst was also observed and the photo-degradation reactions follow the pseudo-first-order model. |
