Abstract:In this work, copper oxide nanorods and iron oxide nanospheres were prepared via a coprecipitation method. Moreover, binary composite of copper and iron oxides (CF) and their ternary nanocomposite with MXene sheets (CF/MXene) were synthesized using an ultrasonication approach. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), a colorless organic pollutant benzoic acid, and harmful herbicide pendimethalin was investigated under visible light irradiation in the presence of a CF/MXene composite. The photocatal… Show more
