Description

Photo catalytic activity is a biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles based upon photo degradation efficiency of methylene blue or methyl red or Congo red dye. It is mostly studied in titanium dioxide which has broad spectrum of activity. The hydroxyl radicals, of electrons react with oxygen vacancies inorder to generate superoxide ions. The hybrid complex that provides maximum degradation rate is about 54% comparison with TiO₂.

It utilizes the solar energy to increase the photo reactivity of TiO₂ semiconductor. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The electron transfer process from TiO₂ to graphite flakes within first picoseconds of the relaxation dynamics, which causes the decrease of the charge recombination rate.

ZnO catalyst revealed an effective photo catalytic activity toward the degradation (97%) of Dibenzothiophene (DBT) contaminant as an organ sulfur model. Photocatalysts is a series of chemical reactions that is usually induced by electro-magnetic irradiation. This will cause excitation of atoms of the irradiated materials that result in radicals that affect surroundings.

Photo-produced holes generate hydroxyl radicals by the oxidation of OH- and H₂O molecules which are absorbed on TiO₂ surfaces. In the same sequence, some modification has also been done by using inorganic-organic compounds but the interlinkage between the various parameters which accelerate the rate of photo degradation process. The solids are separated by centrifugation and UV–V is absorption spectra for supernatant solutions.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) Nano sheets were applied for photo electro catalysis for the degradation of phenol from water under visible and UV light. Construction of new photocatalysts with high catalytic efficiency in sunlight is a core issue in photocatalysts. TiO₂ show higher Lewis basicity. OH groups in carbohydrate of bio-molecule model would donate an electron to electrophile zinc species which leads to oxidation of hydroxyl group and reduction of electron deficient Zn ions to Zn atoms. TA-FL probe test allowed by obtaining a small indication of photo catalytic activity.

Efficiency of photocatalysts process can be evaluated by its effect on the surroundings such as degradation, adoption, and reduction. The photo catalytic performance of titanium oxide species loaded onto a substrate depends on the surface properties of the support, especially on the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance. Ag-based semiconductors could exhibit high initial photo catalytic activity. But they suffer from poor stability because of the photochemical corrosion.

The oxygen vacancy which is induced by the formation of Ti₃⁺ species and nitrogen and carbon doped into substitution sites of TiO₂ which is indispensable for the enhancement of photo catalytic activity under visible light region. The amount of photo catalyst should be optimum; if we take the high amount of photo catalyst the photo degradation is decreased.

Doping techniques have been applied in photo catalysis to overcome limitations of nano TiO₂. These dopants can modify the morphology and electronic structure of TiO₂ nanoparticle to achieve high rate of photo catalytic processes. It includes the ability to synthesized crystal substances, which are unstable near the melting point, and large crystals of high quality.

Conclusion

Moreover, sample C₆₀₀ was also superior to the CeO₂ solid particle photocatalysts. The photo catalytic performance of composites prepared in a one-step process by liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite in the presence of Nano Particles (NPs) at atmospheric pressure. The characterization shows the improvement in photo catalytic performance which was mainly describes the synergistic effect of large specific surface areas, high crystallization and excellent light scattering ability. Effect of temperature for photo-degradation of methyl red and orange is in the presence of TiO₂ and La and Co modified Titania.
