Abstract:In the present research investigation, a novel nanocomposite viz. V2O5/g-C3N4/ZnO was synthesized using wet impregnation technique. Its photocatalytic degradation performance was assessed against various organic pollutants including the antibiotic Amoxicillin (AMX), the pesticide Chlorpyrifos (CPF), and the dye Methylene Blue (MB), under the effect of visible light in an aqueous medium. The materials synthesised and their photodegradation effectiveness were systematically characterized by a variety of techniqu… Show more
