摘要
CuO-Mn3O4 nanocomposite and its pristine material were synthesized via precipitation method and method and characterized by XRD, SEM with EDX, TEM, UV-DRS, PL, and XPS. XRD, TEM, and SEM analysis prove that the merging of CuO in Mn3O4 changes its matrix from orthorhombic to tetragonal structure. The presence of Cu, Mn, and O elements in each sample is confirmed by EDX analysis, while XPS reveals their oxidation states. 30 mg CuO-Mn3O4 dosage exhibit the highest efficiency (90.37%) in photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under halogen lamps (250W) irradiation. Finally, Cr(VI) photocatalysis showed that CuO-Mn3O4 reduction should be carried out in acidic medium (pH 5). The CuO-Mn3O4 composite exhibits higher photocurrent (1.09 mu A cm(-2)) compared with pristine CuO (0.21 mu A cm(-2)) and Mn3O4 (0.49 mu A cm(-2)).
