Tuning of metal oxides photocatalytic performance using Ag nanoparticles integration
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Water contamination is increasingly an important issue in developing and under developed countries. The main cause of water contaminations are industrial dyes and toxic chemicals. Hence many technologies are being developed to de-contaminate the toxic materials. The photocatalytic de-contamination of dyes is an effective and simple technology to purify water. Among various photocatalysts, the transition metal based oxides (TiO2, NiO and ZnO) being the state-of art photocatalytic material. But, the metal oxides have large band gap and suffers from the fact that it predominantly absorbs the Ultra Violet region of irradiation. But, any viable photocatalytic technology demands absorption in the visible light region, so as to utilize the cost-free sun light. Herein, we tune and utilize the metal oxides through the integration of Ag metal nanoparticles. The synthesized materials were completely analyzed by PXRD, HRTEM, UV, XPS and BET instruments. All TiO2/Ag, NiO/Ag and ZnO/Ag nanocomposites were subjected to photocatalytic degradation using visible light. The nanocomposites acted as photocatalyst and degrade the colorful methyl orange and colorless toxic 4-chlorophenol. Among the aforementioned three samples, TiO2/Ag exhibited best performance than ZnO/Ag and NiO/Ag. We attributed the enhancement of photocatalytic activity due to Plasmons assistance and nanoscale regime of photocatalyst. In summary, we tuned the metal oxide photocatalytic performance using the Ag nanoparticle surface Plasmon resonance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
