Overview

Observational analysis improved methylene blue degradation in ZnO/CuO composites, highlighting their potential in photocatalysis.

Key Points

  • ZnO/CuO-10 degraded methylene blue up to 87%, outperforming pristine ZnO with only 65% degradation.
  • Photocatalytic performance was evaluated using varying CuO loadings, showing the highest efficacy for ZnO/CuO-10.
  • Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction confirmed the properties of synthesized ZnO/CuO composites.
  • Biogenic synthesis using Laggera tomentosa extract offers a sustainable method for pollutant remediation.
