Abstract
Present work, effect of undoped, nickel and zinc-dopedDy2O3samples were prepared by sol–gel process in order to improve the degradation efficiency under MeB dye. XRD spectra exhibited peaks corresponding to a single cubic Dy2O3.The particle size was found to be 38, 26 and 19 nm for undoped, nickel and zinc-dopedDy2O3samples.Among them, zinc-dopedDy2O3exhibits the enhanced absorption due to smaller particle size.Zinc-dopedDy2O3had the maximum photocatalytic activity, with 94.56 % of degradation efficiency. It opens up new avenues for the design of advanced optoelectronic, photo-thermal and spintronic devices with industrial applications.
