Pioneering superior efficiency in Methylene blue and Rhodamine b dye degradation under solar light irradiation using CeO/CoO/g-CN ternary photocatalysts.

In this research work, we have successfully synthesized the CeO/CoO/g-CN ternary nanocomposite for hydrothermal method for photocatalytic applications. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission electron microscopy TEM, Photoluminescent spectra (PL), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer- Emmett-Teller (BET) and Ultraviolet diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) technique. As per the optical spectroscopic investigations CeO/CoO/g-CN ternary nanocomposite exhibited the high optical absorption range and its band gap is reduced from 2.

An efficient optical properties of Sn doped ZnO/CdS based solar light driven nanocomposites for enhanced photocatalytic degradation applications.

Metal sulfide - semiconductor nanocomposites synthesized with well-defined tin metal, exhibited the wide bandgap, the absorptions are limited to the UV-vis region for reduction of Reactive Blue 160 (RB 160) under solar light irradiation. The prepared samples were characterized using optoelectronic techniques. Conveniently, a wider range of wavelengths and physical properties can be enabled by doping these metal oxide nanoparticles.
