Comparative Study on the Photocatalytic Degradation of Cationic and Anionic Dyes Using Nickel-deposited ZnO Nanosheets

This study focuses on synthesizing ZnO nanosheets (ZONs) and subsequently modifying them with ۰.۳ wt% nickel (β-Ni(۰.۳)/ZONs) via photodeposition. The PXRD patterns showed the wurtzite phase of ZnO, and FESEM micrographs revealed nanosheet morphology for ZnO. The degradation results indicated a higher degradation efficiency for methyl orange (MO) dye compared to methylene blue (MB) dye under both irradiation conditions. These findings demonstrated the potential of ZnO-based materials in dye wastewater treatment.
