The Influence of ZnO Components on the Photocatalytic Activity of Fe₃O₄-CuO-ZnO Nanocomposites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanocomposite Fe₃O₄-CuO-ZnO with different molar ratio of Fe₃O₄:CuO:ZnO were synthesized using sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The characterization results manifested that the combination of Fe₃O₄, CuO and ZnO nanoparticles was successful. The photocatalytic activity of nanocomposite with the molar ratio of 1:1:5 was more effective in the degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation than pure Fe₃O₄, CuO, ZnO. The role of photoactive species involved in the photocatalytic reaction was studied and found that holes play the most important role in photodegradation of methylene blue.
