In the present study, Ag2O-Al2O3-ZrO2 based trimetallic oxide nanocatalyst was designed using simple microwave assisted reduction method. It was characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electron microscopy [scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM)] and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS). It was utilized for the degradation of nicosulfuron herbicide and the influence of microwave (MW) and UV radiations on the degradation rate was also studied. Maximum of 78% degradation was obtained within 50 min. Scavenging studies showed the major involvement of (OH)-O-center dot and O-center dot(2)- radicals in the degradation process. Possible heterostructures (traditional and Z-scheme) with their possible charge transfer were also studied. Nyquist plots and photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed the high charge transfer and lowered recombination in Ag2O-Al2O3-ZrO2. Possible degradation mechanism was also developed using LC-MS. Reusability studies were carried out for consecutive 5 cycles and results indicated the appreciable photocatalytic ability after every repeated cycles. Graphic
