Publication date: Available online 17 July 2019Source: Materials Today: ProceedingsAuthor(s): T. Jeyapaul, P. Latha, K. Prakash, V. SelvamAbstractIn this present work, A novel Bi2O3/Nylon NCTF (Nanocomposites Thin Film) has been successfully synthesized via a facile, low cost solution cast method. The as-synthesized Bi2O3/Nylon NCTF were characterized by XRD. The morphology was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The Bi2O3/Nylon NCTF which showed the best photocatalytic activity and superior photocatalytic stability. Synergistic effect of Bi2O3/Nylon NCTF played a vital role in photocatalytic degradation Rhodamine Blue (RhB) and Methyl Orange (MO) dyes. This works give a new approach to construct novel photocatalysts and a promising candidate catalyst for removal of hazardous materials from waste water treatment in the near future.
