Microwave assisted sol-gel approach for Zr doped TiO₂ as a benign photocatalyst for bismark brown red dye pollutant.

ABSTRACT: A microwave supported sol-gel approach was developed in this study to fabricate Zr-doped TiO₂ mesoporous nanostructures for efficient photocatalytic activity on bismark brown red (BBR) dye under visible light illumination. Sophisticated analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance (UV-vis-DRS) spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area analyses were used to obtain their structural, electrical: optical and spectroscopic characteristics. The analysis r
