Abstract
CeO2/ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized by microwave method that
is the fast process. One of an eco-friendly solvent, ethylene glycol were
used the effect of time and power of irradiation were investigated on
morphology and size of nanoparticle. Prepared CeO2/ZnO nanocomposites
are characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Transmission
Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR)
spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV–Visible
absorption spectroscopy. For this nanocomposites photocatalyst test were
applied against four colors, Methyl violet, Methylene blue, Rhodamin b
and Erythrosine. the percent of decolorization for each color under UV
light after 120 min were 92% and 60% were obtained respectively.
