Abstract
In this study, cost-effective, environmentally friendly well-fabricated SnO2/TiO2 nanocomposite synthesized via hydrothermal route and the photocatalytic activity was validated using the (NH3-trz)[Fe(dipic)2] complex under ultra-violet illumination. The structural features of (NH3-trz)[Fe(dipic)2] complex and catalysts were systematically examined by various characteristics. The photoreactivity of the model compound (NH3-trz)[Fe(dipic)2] in water/binary solvent systems was investigated. The rate of photoreaction (k) of nanocomposite (0.1432 s−1) is higher than the SnO2 (0.0373 s−1) and TiO2 (0.1422 s−1) in H2O:PriOH (70:30%) than the rest of the solvents system. The pathways, mechanistic feature of accumulated reactive species on nanocomposite to induce adherent [Fe(dipic)2]− anion and photo-reductive products were studied.Graphical Abstract
