Nickel-decorated manganese oxynitride/graphene nanosheet nanocomposites were prepared and demonstrated as efficient photocatalysts for the degradation of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) under visible light. The nanocomposites showed higher efficiency and structural stability compared to manganese oxide (MnO) and manganese oxynitride (MnON) nanoparticles, attributed to their larger specific surface area and smaller band gap. Additionally, the nanocomposite exhibited insignificant cytotoxicity, making it a promising candidate for remediation of ASA-contaminated water.
In this work, we prepared nanocomposites of nickel-decorated manganese oxynitride on graphene nanosheets and demonstrated them as photocatalysts for degradation of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). The catalyst exhibited a high degradation efficiency over ASA under visible light irradiation and an excellent structural stability after multiple uses. Compared to manganese oxide (MnO) and manganese oxynitride (MnON) nanoparticles, larger specific surface area and smaller band gap were observed for the nanocomposite accounting for the enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. Besides the compositional effect of the catalyst, we also examined the influence of various experimental parameters on the degradation of ASA such as initial concentration, catalyst dose, initial pH and additives. The best performance was obtained for the nanocomposite when the catalyst dose was 10 mg/mL and the initial pH 3. Detection of intermediates during photocatalysis showed that ASA undergoes hydroxylation, demethylation, aromatization, ring opening, and finally complete mineralization into CO2 and H2O by reactive species. For practical applications as a photocatalyst, cytotoxicity of the nanocomposite was also evaluated, which revealed its insignificant impact on the cell viability. These results suggest the nanocomposite of nickeldecorated manganese oxynitride on graphene nanosheets as a promising photocatalyst for the remediation of ASA-contaminated water.
