Abstract
Silver doped manganese cobalt spinel mixed oxides (Ag/MnCo2O4) were synthesized through solvent free wet chemical approach. As-synthesized Ag/MnCo2O4 nanoparticles were embedded with reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGO) to synthesize Ag/MnCo2O4/rGO nanocomposite. Different techniques (XRD, FTIR, SEM and UV/VIS) were carried out to study structural and morphological properties. XRD analysis determined cubic face centered structure of synthesized MnCo2O4, Ag/MnCo2O4 and Ag/MnCo2O4/rGO nanocomposite. Methylene blue was used as organic pollutant to investigate photocatalytic test. Degradation percentages for MnCo2O4, Ag/MnCo2O4 and Ag/MnCo2O4/rGO nanocomposite were determined 43.24%, 50% and 84.3% respectively. Ag/MnCo2O4/rGO nanocomposite showed highest degradation efficiency under sunlight.
