Fabrication of Robust and Stable N-Doped ZnO/Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Characterization, Photocatalytic Application, Kinetics, Degradation Products, and Toxicity Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The production of effective visible-light (VL) photocatalysts for the elimination of noxious organic pollutants from wastewater has attracted considerable interest owing to increasing awareness worldwide. Despite the large number of photocatalysts reported, the selectivity and activity of photocatalysts still need to be developed. The goal of this research is to eliminate toxic methylene blue (MB) dye from wastewater through a cost-effective photocatalytic process using VL illumination. A novel N-doped ZnO/carbon nanotube (NZO/CNT) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized via a facile cocrystallization method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the synthesized nanocomposite were systematically investigated. The as-prepared NZO/CNT composite exhibited remarkable phot
