Abstract:
Here in the present study, we report the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, ZnO/CuO(۳%), ZnO/CuO(۵%), and ZnO/CuO(۱۰%), nanocomposites using simple precipitation method with variation of CuO content and the activities of prepared samples were investigated for degradation of Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) dye under visible light conditions in aqueous solutions. The structural, morphology, optical and compositional characteristics of fabricated samples were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy combine electron dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. FESEM images show that ZnO nanoparticles are polygon like shape structure while ZnO/CuO have polygon and sheet shape structures. XRD patterns reflect the high crystalinity and purity of samples. The optical band gap values determined from optical absorption method indicate that band gap energy decreased with increase of CuO content in ZnO. The catalytic efficiency of the ZnO/CuO hybrid nanocomposite was observed to be higher than the ZnO nanoparticles under similar reaction conditions, ۹۷.۳۰% of Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) dye was degraded after ۱۰۰ min of irradiation of visible light radiation using the ZnO/CuO(۵%) hybrid nanocomposite. The higher efficiency of ZnO/CuO compare to ZnO may be due to increased surface area and decreased band gap energy. The kinetic study of the photoctalytic degradation displayed that hybrid ZnO/CuO degrdaded dye with high rate constant k (۳۴.۸۸x۱۰-۳ min -۱) compare to ZnO (k, ۷.۰۰x۱۰-۳ min-۱). The optimization of reaction conditions of photodegradation process were attained by the variation in reaction factors such as pH, dye concentration, catalyst amount, and reaction time.
