Encapsulated Co-ZnO nanospheres as degradation tool for organic pollutants : Synthesis, morphology, adsorption and photo luminescent investigations

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures, both undoped and Co-doped, were synthesized through the solution combustion process. The diffraction patterns from powder XRD revealed that the materials were crystalline. The morphology of the spherically formed nanoparticles was visualized in SEM micrographs. FTIR spectra verified the existence of a defect-associated peak in Co-encapsulated ZnO (Zn0.98Co0.02O) NPs. Photoluminescence studies are undertaken. Malachite Green (MG) dye is used as a representative organic pollutant to study the adsorptive degradation of Co-doped ZnO nanomaterial. Moreover, the adsorption properties, including isotherm and kinetics, are investigated by analyzing the degradation of MG dye. Experimental parameters, such as the concentration of the MG dye, dosage and pH, were varied to ascertain favorable conditions for the degradation study. The results indicate that the MG dye is 70% degraded. After Co-doping, near-band edge emission in undoped ZnO changed into intense red defect emission and was directly correlated with changes in PL emission.
