Heterogeneous kinetics of CuO nanoflakes in simultaneous decolorization of Eosin Y and Rhodamine B in aqueous media

This study describes the heterogeneous photocatalysis of CuO nanoflakes for effective degradation hazardous dyes. The successful synthesis was carried out by exploiting aqueous chemical growth method. synthesized material characterized versatile analytical tools including XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, AFM, ZP and FT-IR. engineered reveals texture having average size 18.3 nm (− 36.5 ± 3 mV) surface charge with excellent phase purity crystalline nature. catalytic kinetics exposed that nanocatalyst exhibits an exceptional over 97% Eosin Y (EY) Rhodamine B (RB) dyes in medium using minimum catalyst dose 120 140 μg individually simultaneously, within min time period under sunlight. Due to ultrafine processing, cost-effective synthetic outline, supreme reduction percentage short intense recyclability insignificant decrease abilities, proposed is extremely useful. Consequentially, presented here more useful realistic, hence can be suggested as candidate complex at commercial level.
