The present work focus on plant extracts mediated synthesis of silver chloride nanoparticles (AgCl-NPs). The AgCl-NPs were synthesized using the plant leaf extract of by one step green synthesis method. The characterization of as prepared AgCl-NPs were done by various analytical techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology and composition of AgCl-NPs was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis, respectively. Further, photocatalytic activity of as prepared AgCl-NPs observed by elimination of bacteria from contaminated water under solar light irradiation and it was observed that AgCl-NPs possess a good photocatalytic activity performance against bacteria.

In this present investigation, plant-mediated synthesis of titanium oxide (TiO) nanoparticles was synthesized from seagrass (Thalassia hemprichi) using the hot plate combustion method (HPCM). Synthesized TiO nanoparticles optical, functional, structural, and morphology properties were analyzed by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). SEM analysis confirmed the spherical shape of the TiO nanoparticles were observed in various sizes, viz.

Cu2O has attracted significant attention as a potential photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. However, its practical use is limited by rapid charge recombination, insufficient catalytic sites, and poor stability. In this study, we report a facile synthesis of Cu2O@BiOCl core-shell hybrids with well-defined shape of Cu2O and two-dimensional nanosheet structure of BiOCl.

The world is now facing a water scarcity crisis due to waste, pollution, and uneven distribution of freshwater resources, which are limited. Thus, the creation of innovative, economical, and effective methods for purifying water is crucial. Here, the photo-assisted degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light and UV was achieved by using RGO photocatalyst loaded with ZnCuFeO in three different loaded 10%, 20%, and 30% called MRGO 10, MRGO 20, and MRGO 30.

Photocatalytic overall water splitting is a promising approach for a sustainable hydrogen provision using solar energy. For sufficient solar energy utilization, this reaction ought to be operated based on visible-light-active semiconductors, which is very challenging. In this work, an F-expedited nitridation strategy is applied to modify the wide-bandgap semiconductor SrTiO for visible-light-driven photocatalytic overall water splitting.
