Abstract
Wastewater remediation is one of the special issues that have been discussed in recent years and one of the main pollutants was dyes which totally changes the water behavior. To eradicate the organic compounds from the wastewater and reuse it, there are numerous steps have been taken into consideration. Dye degradation via photocatalysis is one of the promising technique with good efficiency. Pure and tin (Sn) doped Co3O4 was prepared employing co-precipitation technique. The structural, vibrational, optical and morphological analysis was done employing X-ray diffraction studies, Photoluminescence, Raman analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) studies. The well-defined nanoparticles were grown with 1 M Sn doped Co3O4. The photocatalytic activities of methylene blue dye under visible light were investigated by adding the samples (CS-1, CS-2, CS-3). 1 M Sn doped Co3O4 sample showed 75% efficiency towards dye degradation. The prepared 1 M Sn doped Co3O4 sample will be the best for photocatalytic activity. By doping Sn atoms the efficiency of the host is increased which will be the most promising candidate for the photocatalytic dye degradation applications.
