Enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance for degradation of organic contaminants using PbWO4 nanostructure fabricated by a new, simple and green sonochemical approach

• Spindle shaped PbWO 4 nanostructure with enhanced photocatalytic activity was obtained by facile and green sonochemical way for the first time. Maltose as a new capping agent utilized. Sonication time, dose of precursors, power ultrasound waves kind were optimized. The made lead tungstate samples in role visible-light photocatalyst applied to remove organic pollution water. Usage ultrasonic irradiation has remarkable effect on performance decomposition. Water contamination turned into critical global concern that menaces entire biosphere notable lives living beings humans. As proper environmentally friendly solution, photocatalysis technology been offered water removal. There is strong interest design efficient catalytic materials are photoactive aid visible light. Herein, fabricate highly removal water, swift route employed creation spindle an (maltose) To optimize efficiency, dimension structure tungstate, various effective factors such agents altered. attributes examined diverse identification techniques. produced kinds pollutants, type catalyst capability eliminate contaminants. Very favorable yield durability demonstrated spindle-shaped (produced at 60 W 10 min usage maltose). could bring improvement 93%. Overall, outcomes introduce substance eliminating under
