TiO2-Cu2O Based Nanocomposites for Photocatalytic Degradation of Dye Pollutants from Aqueous Industrial Waste Solutions

Article Preview

Abstract:

When comparing the photo-catalytic degradation of Rhodamine b dye azo dye, TiO2-Cu2O was shown to be much more efficient. Additionally, the effects of several parameters on the dye concentration, including pH, degradation rate of dye solution, and irradiation time, were examined. Rhodamine b dye's ability to aggregate was also investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques, which were utilised in conjunction with other approaches. The revival of the TiO2-Cu2O catalyst was also examined.
