Zno/Cdo Nanocomposites For Textile Effluent Degradation And Electrochemical Detection, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr
Zno/Cdo Nanocomposites For Textile Effluent Degradation And Electrochemical Detection, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
In this report, the photocatalytic and electrochemical activity of ZnO and ZnO/CdO nanocomposites were determined. Pure ZnO and nanocomposite ZnO/CdO were prepared by a vapor to solid mechanism and were characterized by different physical and chemical techniques. The CdO-modified ZnO possessed high efficiency to degrade textile effluent. It also showed high efficiency of degradation, such as 98% for methylene blue and 93% for methyl orange. Cadmium oxide (impurity) plays an important role in achieving zinc oxide materials that exhibit UV to visible light degradation of textile effluent. Additionally, uric acid sensing performed to study the electrochemical activity revealed that ZnO/CdO …

A ternary ZnO/Ag/CdO nanocomposite was synthesized using thermal decomposition method. The resulting nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ZnO/Ag/CdO nanocomposite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation for the degradation of methyl orange and methylene blue compared with binary ZnO/Ag and ZnO/CdO nanocomposites. The ZnO/Ag/CdO nanocomposite was also used for the degradation of the industrial textile effluent (real sample analysis) and degraded more than 90% in 210 min under visible light irradiation. The small size, high surface area and synergistic effect in the ZnO/Ag/CdO …

Zno/Ag/Mn2o3 Nanocomposite For Visible Lightinduced Industrial Textile Effluent Degradation, Uric Acid And Ascorbic Acid Sensing And Antimicrobial Activity, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
A facile and inexpensive route has been developed to synthesize a ternary ZnO/Ag/Mn2O3 nanocomposite having nanorod structures based on the thermal decomposition method. The as-synthesized ternary ZnO/Ag/Mn2O3 nanocomposite was characterized and used for visible light-induced photocatalytic, sensing and antimicrobial studies. The ternary ZnO/Ag/Mn2O3 nanocomposite exhibited excellent and enhanced visible light-induced photocatalytic degradation of industrial textile effluent (real sample analysis) compared to pure ZnO. Sensing studies showed that the ternary ZnO/Ag/Mn2O3 nanocomposite exhibited outstanding and improved detection of uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA). It also showed effective and efficient bactericidal activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. These results …

This paper reports a novel one-pot biogenic synthesis of Au–SnO2 nanocomposite using electrochemically active biofilm. The synthesis, morphology and structure of the as-synthesized Au–SnO2 nanocomposite were in-depth studied and confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was observed that the SnO2 surface was decorated homogeneously with Au nanoparticles. The photoelectrochemical behavior of the Au–SnO2 nanocomposite was examined by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and linear sweep voltammetry in the dark and under visible light irradiation. Visible light-induced photoelectrochemical studies confirmed that the Au–SnO2 nanocomposite had enhanced activities compared …
