Towards Sustainable Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants through Rational Design of Engineered Magnetically Retrievable Metal Oxide@Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites
The aim is to develop efficient nanocomposites for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water.
Designed metal oxide@graphene oxide nanocomposites for enhanced photocatalytic properties.
Conducted experiments to test the efficiency of these nanocomposites in degrading toxic pollutants.
Investigated the magnetic retrieval mechanism for easy separation of the photocatalyst post-treatment.
Nanocomposites showed significant degradation rates for various organic pollutants.
Magnetic retrieval enabled easy recovery and reuse of the catalyst.
Findings indicate a potential for practical applications in environmental cleanup.
Abstract
