Abstract
In this study, CA/MnO2 nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by using a magnetic stirring method that was not prohibitively expensive. For the purpose of characterizing nanocomposites, XRD, EDX, Photoluminescence, FTIR, and XPS were used. FESEM was used to observe the shape and dimensions of the formed CA/MnO2 nanocomposites. For the purpose of evaluating CA/MnO2 nanocomposites, photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B that was obtained from the dyeing industry was employed. In addition, research was conducted on the photocatalytic process of rhodamine-B degradation in an aqueous solution. This method displayed that the concentration of rhodamine-B decreased by 81 % in only sixty minutes when it was exposed to UV–visible light. These results pave the way towards developing more efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalysts to remove organic pollutants during the water treatment process.
