In this study, Gd/N co-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully fabricated using a simple co-precipitation method, showing high photocatalytic degradation efficiency under UV-Vis and direct solar light. The enhancement of light absorption ability and creation of trap states improved the stability and efficiency of the photocatalyst.
The construction of a UV-Vis and direct sunlight functioning photocatalyst is a puzzling task for organic pollutant removal. Herein, we have fabricated Gd/N co-doped ZnO nanoparticles for the first-time using a simple co-precipitation method for photocatalytic degradation application. The heteroatom doping enhances the light absorption ability and acts as a photo-induced electron-hole separator by creating a trap state. Co-doped ZnO shows comparatively high photocatalytic degradation efficiency of about 87% and 93% under UV-Vis and direct solar light respectively. Moreover, the prepared photocatalyst exhibits excellent stability for the recycling process. Hence, we believe that this heteroatom co-doped ZnO photocatalyst is an auspicious material for the photocatalytic organic pollutant degradation reaction.
