Green Synthesis of Au doped SnO2 mediated Via Artocarpus Heterophyllus for the Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye in Water Treatment Application

Abstract

The green synthesis of nanoscale materials is of special interest to researchers all over the world. We describe a simple, inexpensive, and environment friendly approach to the synthesis of gold-doped tin oxide nanoparticles, which is based on the use of plant extracts. Green synthesized nanoparticles can be used as catalysts, photocatalysts, adsorbents, or alternative agents for the elimination of various organic dyes. With the rapid growth of population, increasing urbanization and industrialization, environmental pollution is becoming a serious concern worldwide. In this work, gold-doped tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method. Different type of pollutants is released into the water bodies enormously from the expansive range of industries. Among all the pollutants, dyes are the major used noxious waste discharged by these productions. Dyes are posing a threat to the ecosystem and human health risks.. Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) can be done to degrade molecules of dyes in wastewater. Removal of dyes from the wastewater using green synthesized nanoparticles with the help of plant extracts is a sustainable technique, i.e., by the use of this technique, our environment will not be polluted, and its quality will be maintained. The present review discusses the nanoparticle formation by using plant extract, and, finally, the remediation of dye using such nanoparticles. Overall, the approach presented in the article supports environmental protection and is a promising alternative to other synthesis techniques
