摘要

Abstract

In this research study

we have synthesized the bio-capped ZnO/g-C

nanocomposites by employing lemon juice (

Citrus limon

) as a stabilizer and mediator. Fruitfully

lemon juice which contains various acidic functional groups and citric acid has the capability to block the surface of g-C

from chemical reactivity and activated the surface of g-C

for various reactions. Consequently

the agglomeration behavior and controlled shape of g-C

has also been achieved. Our experimental results

i.e.

XRD

TEM

HRTEM

XPS

and PEC have confirmed that the lemon juice mediated and green g-C

(L-CN) have good performances and remarkable visible light photocatalytic activities as compared to the chemically synthesized g-C

(CN). Furthermore

the small surface area and low charge separation of g-C

is upgraded by coupling with ZnO nanoparticles. It is proved that the coupling of ZnO worked as a facilitator and photoelectron modulator to enhance the cha

rge separation of g-C

. Compared to pristine lemon-mediated green g-C

(L-CN)

the most active sample 5ZnO/L-CN showed ~ 5-fold improvement in activities for ciprofloxacin (CIP) and methylene blue (MB) degradation. More specifically

the mineralization process and degradation pathways

and the mineralization process of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and methylene blue (MB) are suggested. Finally

our present novel research work will provide new access to synthesize the eco-friendly and bio-caped green g-C

nanomaterials and their employment for pollutants degradation and environmental purification.
