Abstract In this study, ZrP/NiSe₂ nanocomposite was constructed for the first time. Characterizations were carried out by FT-IR, XRD, EDX mapping and FESEM, confirming the nanocomposite formation. The resulting sustainable ZrP/NiSe₂ nanocomposite exhibit improved photocatalytic activity in the visible area to remove imidacloprid from water compared to pure ZrP and NiSe₂ nanoparticles. Improving the performance of this nanocomposite can be the result of the integration of ZrP and NiSe₂ at the nanoscale and the synergistic enhancement of their activity. Furthermore, ZrP/NiSe₂ and ZrP can remove significant percentages of imidacloprid from aqueous solutions through adsorption. This result can be explained by the high adsorption affinity of ZrP toward organic pollutants with protonable groups.
