Hydrothermal fabrication of selectively doped organic assisted advanced ZnO nanomaterial for solar driven photocatalysis
Hydrothermal fabrication of selectively doped(Ag++ Pd3+) advanced ZnO nanomaterial has been carried out under mild pressure temperature conditions(autogeneous; 150°C).Gluconic acid has been used as a surface modifier to effectively control the particle size and morphology of these ZnO nanoparticles. The experimental parameters were tuned to achieve optimum conditions for the synthesis of selectively doped ZnO nanomaterials with an experimental duration of 4 hr. These selectively doped ZnO nanoparticles were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), UV–Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The solar driven photocatalytic studies have been carried out for organic dyes, i.e., Procion MX-5B dye,Cibacron Brilliant Yellow dye, Indigo Carmine dye, separately and all three mixed, by using gluconic acid modified selectively doped advanced ZnO nanomaterial. The influence of catalyst, its concentration and initial dye concentration resulted in the photocatalytic efficiency of 89% under daylight.
