New designing (NH4)2SiP4O13 nanowires and effective photocatalytic degradation of Malachite green and antimicrobial properties

Abstract

Recently, organic chemicals, alcohols, dyes, acids and toxic chemical wastes are directly connected with water in many places. Then this pollutant removal process has been followed by various methods and researchers are not satisfied with these methods so new methods of photocatalyst have been proposed. Therefore, authors are involved in the important dyes removal effort. Hereby, the efficiency, health problems, and reusability issues are controlled and protected in the environment. (NH4)2SiP4O13 material was synthesized by a simple chemical route, this material has low bandgap energy and this result was carried out by DRS UV Visible spectroscopy. The (NH4)2SiP4O13 nanonests were tested to various instruments such as XRD, Raman, FT-IR, FE-SEM, and HR-TEM with EDX analysis. These results are confirmed and successfully identified to triclinic phase and spider nest-like morphologies. This can be assigned to the good un-uniform shape with the ranges at 1 µm to 20 nm. The (NH4)2SiP4O13 nanonest M-O-M and M-OH and M-O modes were confirmed to the FT-IR results spectroscopy and this M-O mode was much correlated in Raman spectroscopy. (NH4)2SiP4O13 nanonest was tested in antibacterial activity with using various strains such as Gram- positive (Staphylococcus aureus (S.a)) and Gram-negative -Klebsiella pneumonia (K.p) bacteria’s. As the proposed catalyst has a higher photocatalytic efficiency and stability also monitored.
