Abstract
Development of coupled semiconductor oxides makes considerable development in the photocatalytic functional materials. InMoO3–TiO2 nanocomposite material was synthesized by co-precipitation method and sonication technique. The synthesized nanomaterial was characterized by HR-SEM with EDX, HR-TEM, XRD, FT-RAMAN, PL, UV–vis DRS, AFM and BET surface area measurements. The photocatalytic activity of InMoO3–TiO2 nanomaterial was evaluated from the photodegradation of methyl green (MEG) under UV-light irradiation at 365nm. The photodegradation of methyl green (MEG) at various parameters are reported. The Photodegradation was found to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Hydroxyl radical formation in the mechanism was confirmed by fluorescence quenching technique. It was proposed that the catalyst is found to be stable and reusable and expandable applications.
