Abstract:The present study
deals with sonochemically in situ synthesis of
a novel functional catalyst using hydrogen exfoliated graphene (HEG)
supported titanium dioxide (TiO2) and copper sulfate (CuSO4) doped with zinc oxide (ZnO) (abbreviated as Ti/Cu/Zn-HEG).
The synthesis of the Ti/Cu/Zn-HEG nanocomposite (NCs) catalyst was
confirmed through its characterizations by XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, XPS,
FTIR, and BET methods. It was assessed for catalytic conversion of
a model aromatic compound para-nitrophenol (p-NP)
in an aque… Show more
