Coastal aquatic pollutants degradation using ZnCoO nanorods. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Water pollution from poor waste management negatively impacts coastal areas and aquatic life, prompting research on effective solutions.
  • This study focuses on the degradation of the textile dye methyl orange (MO) using synthesized ZnO and CoO nanoparticles in various proportions of ZnCoO nanorods.
  • Results show that the ZnCoO (50:50) catalyst achieves a 59.8% degradation efficiency under visible light, highlighting the importance of its structural properties in enhancing photocatalytic activity for dye degradation.

Article Abstract

Water pollution has caused problems in coastal areas, rivers, lakes, and other important water sources around the world as a result of inappropriate waste management. Meanwhile, these pollutants are harmful to humans and aquatic life. Textile dye effluent methyl orange (MO) was used in this work for dye degradation studies employing nanocomposites. As a result, the importance of synthesizing pure ZnO and CoO nanoparticles with composites of ZnCoO (zinc cobaltite) nanorods in three various proportions (90:10, 75:25, and 50:50) is emphasized in this study. Many advanced approaches were used to assess the various features of these materials, including size and shape. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to determine the vibrational modes of the materials. The absorption measurements were then carried out using UV-vis spectroscopic techniques, and the photocatalytic breakdown of MO was done under visible light irradiation. The findings revealed that pure materials were inadequate for visible light activity, resulting in decreased degradation efficiencies. Spinel cobaltite structures have potential degradation efficiency under visible light, while ZnCoO (50:50) catalyst has superior degradation efficiency of 59.8% over MO. The crystallite size, morphology, functional group, absorption wavelength, and band gap all play important roles in enhancing the material's photocatalytic activity under visible light. Meanwhile, ZnCoO spinel structures are crucial for increasing charge carriers and reducing electron-hole recombination. As a result, zinc cobaltite minerals are widely used in industrial dye degradation applications.
