Abstract

ZnO, CdO nanomaterial were utilized for the degradation of Alizarin Red dye photocatalytically under visible light illumination. Zno photocatalyst was prepared by the hydrothermal method at a temperature of 160 °C and CdO synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at a temperature of 140 °C.Synthesized nanomaterial was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV–vis spectroscopy and PL. The photocatalytic degradation of Alizarin Red (AR) dye was carried out utilizing prepared photocatalyst irradiated with 60 W Tungsten light source with the fixed dose of catalyst on standard AR dye and studied its Kinetic analysis of photodegradation on Alizarin Red dye and conclude the efficiency of ZnO and CdO nano photocatalyst at the same condition.
