molybdenum trioxide-incorporated ZnO; structural characterization; optical properties; photocatalytic activity
New molybdenum trioxide-incorporated ZnO materials were prepared through the electrospinning method and then calcination at 500 degrees C, for 2 h. The obtained electrospun ZnO:MoO(3)hybrid materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, ultraviolet (UV)-diffuse reflectance, UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption, and photoluminescence techniques. It was observed that the presence of MoO(3)as loading material in pure ZnO matrix induces a small blue shift in the absorption band maxima (from 382 to 371 nm) and the emission peaks are shifted to shorter wavelengths, as compared to pure ZnO. Also, a slight decrease in the optical band gap energy of ZnO:MoO(3)was registered after MoO3 incorporation. The photocatalytic performance of pure ZnO and ZnO:MoO(3)was assessed in the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) dye with an initial concentration of 5 mg/L, under visible light irradiation. A doubling of the degradation efficiency of the ZnO:MoO(3)sample (3.26% of the atomic molar ratio of Mo/Zn) as compared to pure ZnO was obtained. The values of the reaction rate constants were found to be 0.0480 h(-1)for ZnO, and 0.1072 h(-1)for ZnO:MoO3, respectively.
