A highly efficient PrMnO۳/graphene oxide nanocomposite for visible light induced photocatalytic water treatment

The PrMnO۳ nanoparticles were obtained using sol-gel method in the presence of disaccharides as maltose, lactose, and sucrose. Effects of calcination temperature, molar ratio, and type of fuel as operational synthesis parameters have been investigated on the properties of the products. The perfect sample that was produced was used as a photocatalyst to break down a range of organic dyes. Additionally, a composite of PrMnO۳ was provided with different percentages of graphene oxide (GO). The mechanism of photocatalytic degradation was investigated by looking at the scavengers for active agents. Thus, using ۰.۰۶ g PrMnO۳/GO۳۰% nano-photocatalysts in ۵ ppm Eriochrome black T (EBT), optimal efficiency (۸۷%) was achieved.
