Abstract:
Photo catalysis is low cost and environment friendly process for cleaning the water and
removing organic pollutant. In our work, we employed a co-precipitation method to
synthesize the silver doped tin oxide/Zinc Oxide Nano composites. This catalyst absorbs UV
energy and in aqueous medium it degrades methylene blue dye. Scanning electron
microscope (SEM) images were used to determine the surface morphology of Ag doped
SnO2/ZnO. Characterization of the optical transmission (total and diffuse) was performed
using FTIR analysis. XRD analysis was performed to determine the crystal structure. Raman
analysis was used for the chemical structure of the NCs. In addition, photo catalytic
activities were performed with the help of photo catalytic reactor chamber and UV
spectroscopy for the degradation of the MB dyes.
