In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue has been investigated using natural zeolite modified Mn-doped ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by co-precipitation method. Comparison of degradation efficiency demonstrated that natural zeolite modifiedMn-doped ZnO exhibited higher activity than bare Mn-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.

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.

Transition metal ions (Co and Cr) doped ZnO nanoparticles supported on natural zeolite were synthesized using co-precipitation method. The synthesized samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The samples were further used as photocatalyst for degradation of methyl orange and methylene blue in aqueous solutions under UV light irradiation. The results showed that zeolite supported Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles is more efficient compared with zeolite supported Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles. It is also revealed that zeolite supported samples possessed higher photocatalytic efficiency compared to bare samples.

Nanosized Mn doped ZnO samples were synthesized by co-precipitation method using Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a capping agent. X- ray diffraction patterns confirm that the pure and Mn doped ZnO nanocrystals have wurtzite structure without any seconadary phases. Lattice parameters of pure and Mn doped ZnO nanocrystals increase slightly with increasing Mn concentration. The average crystalline size of pure and Mn doped ZnO nanocrystals are in the range of 14-18 nm. The X-ray density for pure and Mn doped ZnO sample is calculated using lattice parameters. It is found that almost static for Mn doped ZnO samples. In the Zn1-xMnx samples, room temperature magnetic hysteresis is observed and the saturation magnetization increases with increasing Mn content. However, these samples show room temperature ferromagnetic in nature. Result of the present investigation compared without PEG.

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.

Fe- and Co-doped ZnO with various doping concentrations have been synthesized by co-precipitation method in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate as anionic surfactant. The obtained sample powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared absorption, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, electron spin resonance spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by observing the decolorization of methylene blue under UV light irradiation. The results revealed that the addition of a dopant atom significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity.
