In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and congo red has been investigated using montmorillonite modified Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Chromium doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method and were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared absorption and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Furthermore these nanoparticles were explored to degradation of methylene blue and congo red in aqueous solution as model of organic pollutant under UV light irradiation. Comparison of degradation efficiency demonstrated that Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles modified montmorillonite exhibited higher activity than pure Cr-doped ZnO.

The present study compares the photocatalytic decolorization ability of Fe-doped ZnO modified both natural zeolite and montmorillonite towards aqueous solution of organic dyes such as methylene blue and methyl orange under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency is better in the presence of montmorillonite compared to natural zeolite.

The present study compares the photocatalytic decolorization ability of bare Mn-doped ZnO and montmorillonite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles towards aqueous solution of organic dyes (methylene blue and malachite green) under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, electron spin resonance, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Comparison of degradation efficiency demonstrated that montmorillonite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibited higher activity than bare Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles.

The present study evaluates the photocatalytic degradation of congo red as a model of organic pollutant over LaFe- and CeFe-codoped ZnO nanoparticles under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photodegradation efficiency of congo red using two 20W UV lamp was higher for LaFe-codoped ZnO nanoparticles compared with CeFe-codoped ZnO nanoparticles. Photocatalytic mechanism was investigated by measuring the photocatalytic degradation rate in the presence of ammonium oxalate, natrium sulfate, tert-butyl alcohol as photogenerated holes, photogenerated electrons and hydroxyl radical species scavenger. The results revealed that electrons are the main species in the photocatalytic process.

The present study compares the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in the presence of natural zeolite supported Ni-doped ZnO and bare Ni-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The photocatalyst was prepared by co-precipitation method and the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst was investigated under UV light irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency of zeolite supported Ni-doped ZnO nanoparticles is better than that of bare Ni-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The influence of experimental parameters on the photodegradation of methylene blue was studied and it was observed that photocatalytic activity varied with pH, initial methylene blue concentration and the amount of photocatalyst. The scavenger technique shows that electron plays an important role in the bare Ni-doped ZnO, while in zeolite supported Ni-doped ZnO,●OH is the prominent active species.

A series of semiconductor nanophotocatalyst based on transition metal (Ni and Cr) doped ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized in the presence of cetril methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) by co-precipitation method. Samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method. The resulting materials were explored for the decolorization of 4 different organic dyes (methyl orange, methylene blue, malachite green, and congo red) under UV light irradiation. The resulting materials exhibited relatively higher photocatalytic decolorization than bare Ni- and Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles with similar doping concentration

In this study, the photocatalytic activity of pure Fe- doped ZnO and Fe- doped ZnO/Montmorillonite nanocomposite has been investigated for the degradation of malachite green under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and electron spin resonance. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency is better in the presence of montmorillonite compared to pure Fe- doped ZnO. To detect the possible reactive species involved in degradation of organic dyes control experiments with introducing scavengers into the solution of organic dyes were carried out. It is found that electron plays an important role in the degradation of malachite green.

Large amounts of SnO2 nanospheres are successfully synthesized through a simple and effective hydrothermal method. The as-synthesized products consist of numerous small SnO2 nanocrystals with an average diameter of 40 nm. The as-prepared SnO2 nanospheres are further used as the photocatalysts for photodegrading several organic dyes (methylene blue, methyl orange, Congo red, and rhodamine B) under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic results show that the as-synthesized SnO2 nanospheres possess high photocatalytic activities. Compared with the degradation rates of other dyes, that of methylene blue reaches 98.5% by 30 min irradiation. It reveals that the as-prepared product might be potential candidate in wastewater purification.
