Advanced Heterostructured CrO4-TiO2Nano Composite Material and Its Application

J. Kamalakkannan

Abstract


TheCrO4-TiO2nanocomposite material has been successfully achievedtheco-precipitation route and sonication technique. This nanocomposite materialwas characterized by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) with elementary dispersive X-ray (EDX), XRD analysis and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), the experimental results exposes that 400℃ of CrO4-TiO2nanocomposite material exhibited in the higher photo analytic activity for the degradation of azo dye methyl green (MEG) under UV-Light found to be the stable and reusable.

 

Keywords: Photocatalytic activity, HR-SEM, methyl green (MEG)
