Abstract
A series of semiconductor nanophotocatalyst based on transition metal (Ni and Cr) doped ZnO nanoparticles have been synthesized in the presence of cetril methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) by co-precipitation method. Samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) method. The resulting materials were explored for the decolorization of 4 different organic dyes (methyl orange, methylene blue, malachite green, and congo red) under UV light irradiation. The resulting materials exhibited relatively higher photocatalytic decolorization than bare Ni- and Cr-doped ZnO nanoparticles with similar doping concentration
