Eco-Friendly Green Synthesis and Photocatalyst Activity of Ag-ZnO Nanocomposite

The study successfully synthesized Ag NPs, ZnO NPs, and Ag/ZnO nanocomposites using an easy, cost effect and sustainable green synthetic approach. The purpose of synthesizing Ag/ZnO nanocomposites using two different plant extracts was to study their photo-degradation activity on Methylene Blue (MB)...

description The study successfully synthesized Ag NPs, ZnO NPs, and Ag/ZnO nanocomposites using an easy, cost effect and sustainable green synthetic approach. The purpose of synthesizing Ag/ZnO nanocomposites using two different plant extracts was to study their photo-degradation activity on Methylene Blue (MB) dye. (XRD) diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of Ag crystalline size and the wurtzite hexagonal structure of ZnO. (FE-SEM) results indicated spherical, nanorods and there is Clustering of NPs with an irregular shape. The resulting metal/semiconductor oxide nanocomposites possessed unique photo degradation characteristics that were absent in the individual Ag NPs and ZnO NPs.
