Abstract:The presence of dyes in water can have severe health and environmental implications; consequently, effective technologies are required to remove them. In this research, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by eco‐friendly methods, using Arctostaphylos pungens extract, for use in water treatment via photocatalysis. The extract concentration strongly influenced the properties of ZnO NPs, the bandgap values revealed a direct dependence as the extract concentration increased, obtaining 2.81, 2.88, and 2.9… Show more
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.
