Cleaning contaminated water under light with a novel type of heterogeneous photocatalysts is a critical method for wastewater resolution. A unique mesoporous Ru-ZnO@g-C3N4 nanocomposite with an increased surface area was synthesized through the ultrasonic technique in the presence of methanol. The synthesized nanocomposites of Ru-ZnO@g-C3N4 were evaluated as a new effective photocatalyst for degrading organic pigments in aquatic conditions under visible illumination.
Cleaning contaminated water under light with a novel type of heterogeneous photocatalysts is regarded as a critical method for wastewater resolution. Thus, a unique mesoporous Ru-ZnO@g-C3N4 nanocomposite with an increased surface area was synthesized through the ultrasonic technique in the presence of methanol. The X-ray diffraction pattern efficiently validated the crystal structure of the Ru-ZnO hybrid and allowed it to be integrated into the g-C3N4 structure. TEM imaging revealed the Ru-ZnO nanocomposite as spherical particles spread uniformly throughout the g-C3N4 nanosheet. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was applied to determine the bonding properties of the samples. Under visible illumination, the synthesized nanocomposites of Ru-ZnO@g-C3N4 were evaluated as a new effective photocatalyst for degrading organic pigments in aquatic conditions.
