Synthesis of Mesoporous ZnMAlO Substituted by Co and Ni Ions and Application in the Photodegradation of Rhodamine B.

A new mesoporous ZnMAlO photocatalyst was prepared using the metal-chitosan complexation method with different degrees of Zn cation substitution with cobalt and nickel ions (M = Co and Ni). Characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared absorption spectrometry (FTIR), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), diffuse reflectance spectrometry (DRS), scanning electron miscoscopy (SEM), transmission electron miscroscopy (TEM), N adsorption- desorption isotherms using the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method, thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) confirmed the formation of the spinel phase and high purity for all samples. N adsorption/desorption and size pore distribution confirmed the high surface area.
