Biomaterial (Garlic and Chitosan)-Doped WO-TiO Hybrid Nanocomposites: Their Solar Light Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Activities.

In this work, WO-TiO, chitosan-blended WO-TiO, and garlic-loaded WO-TiO nanocomposites were synthesized by the sol-gel and precipitation technique. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, EDX, UV-DRS, FT-IR, and TG-DTA analysis. The photocatalytic efficiency of the three synthesized nanocomposites on the degradation of dyes such as rhodamine B (Rh-B), methylene blue (MB), and methyl orange (MO) as organic pollutants was evaluated under solar light irradiation.
