Abstract
AbstractPhotocatalysis leverages light energy for chemical transformations, presenting an environmentally friendly approach to mitigating pollution. We have developed Bi2WO6/Ag/ZnO composite nanomaterials that demonstrate enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. These nanomaterials have been characterized through advanced techniques such as x‐ray diffraction and x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A key challenge in photocatalysis is the effective separation of electron–hole pairs, and our Bi2WO6/Ag/ZnO composites achieve an impressive degradation rate of 96.93% for methyl orange. This result notably exceeds previous performance standards and highlights the crucial role of Ag in broadening the light response spectrum of zinc oxide (ZnO), and the addition of Bi2WO6 in amplifying the electron–hole pair separation efficiency within these composite nanomaterials. These findings underscore the significant potential of Bi2WO6/Ag/ZnO composites in environmental detoxification and establish a new benchmark in photocatalytic material performance. The advancement of such nanomaterials could be transformative for environmental remediation strategies, offering efficient, sustainable, and cost‐effective solutions to ecological challenges. This study underscores the pivotal role of materials science in advancing environmental sustainability.
