Abstract
The progress of the enriched photocatalytic degradation predominantly depends on materials fabrication. In the recent times, the outcomes of nanomaterials show extraordinary efficiency due to its shape and size. In this connection, the present work concentrates on the fabrication of single digit metal oxides (CeO2, CuO, NiO, Mn3O4, SnO2 and ZnO) through precipitation method. The structural information of different metal oxides (MOs) and their crystallite size were estimated via XRD analysis and their consistent results revealed that the crystalline sizes of the prepared metal oxide were exhibited in nano size. The morphology and dimension of the synthesized MOs were identified through FE-SEM and TEM techniques. The FE-SEM images were apparently defined that the actual morphology of each metal oxide expresses different dimension due to nucleation and growth process. The result of UV–vis absorption spectra was helped to identify the band gap of MOs and a suitable light for photocatalytic irradiation. Additionally, the synthesized single digit MOs nanoparticles were magnificently applied for the degradation of methyl orange and methylene blue under UV light irradiation.
