Abstract

In this studt, Photocatalytic performance of CdxZn1-xCo2O4 nanostructuredspinel oxides with varying cadmium (Cd) concentrations (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) were studied. Their photo catalytic activities were evaluated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV- irradiation for different times (0,10,20,30,40,50 and 60 min) before and after pH effect. The results show that CdxZn1-xCo2O4 nanostructured spinel oxides with different Cd-doping (x) verified the photo catalytic capabilities. The degradation efficiency enhanced after PH effect for all samples. The doping x=0.5 has the highest efficiency for MB degradation before PH effect (33%) and it enhanced after PH effect to reach 88%. Our work will be helpful in the photocatalytic activity of CdZnCo2O4, the photocatalytic degradation of MB under UV light was examined. in order to comprehend their photocatalytic characteristics. Moreover this work will be useful in the process of photocatalysis is affordable and effective way to break down organic pollutants in wastewater.
