摘要
In this work, the photocatalytic activity of Zn-3(PO4)(2) was effectively enhanced based on the Zn-3(PO4)(2)/ZnO composites. Hence, the photocatalytic properties were investigated using various ratio in ZnO and dissimilar approaches for the synthesis (coprecipitation and solid-state reaction). The physicochemical and morphological composition of the as-prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and FTIR techniques. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities of the Zn-3(PO4)(2) were improved towards the degradation of Rhodamine B RhB dye under UV irradiations. As an outcome, the degradation time duration and efficacy of Zn-3(PO4)(2) has effectively enhanced using the solids reacting method with 20% percent ZnO.
