Solar active ternary NiO/CuTiO 3 /ZnO semiconductor heterojunction were developed by alcoholic dispersion technique. As prepared ternary system and parent photocatalysts were analyze crystalline phase, surface morphology, light absorbance property, electron hole accusation parting and significant functional groups by means of specific physicochemical feature measurements. From the results, enhanced visible light photo mineralization, superior efficiency of charge carriers separation and better photocatalytic degradation of reactive orange 30 were confirmed for ternary NiO/CuTiO 3 /ZnO semiconductor heterojunction. Hydroxyl radical in the radical trapping experiments confirmed the photocatalytic degradation, which plays an important role in removal of hazardous dye from industrial effluents. This work demonstrates that synergetic effect of CuTiO 3 and NiO in which it proves to be a good option for recovering the consumption of visible light of ZnO-based materials in the ternary hybrid conduction bands.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
