Bimetallic CuPd alloy nanoparticles decorated ZnO nanosheets with enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye

Hao Sun et al.

Summary: Photocatalytic technology is a promising alternative for water treatments, but its practical application is limited by low efficiency and selectivity. In this study, two-dimensional zinc oxide nanosheets decorated with copper-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized for the degradation of organic dyes in water. The prepared composites showed superior photocatalytic performance compared to pristine ZnO nanosheets under visible-light irradiation, attributed to enhanced separation and transfer efficiency of charge carriers. The highest catalytic efficiency was achieved by CuPd/ZnO nanocomposite with 0.5 wt% CuPd, achieving 95.3% removal of methyl orange within 45 minutes. This study provides a new avenue for the design and fabrication of high-performance photocatalysts for water treatments.
