Efficient Samarium-Grafted-C₃N₄-Doped α-MoO₃ Used as a Dye Degrader and Antibacterial Agent: In Silico Molecular Docking Study.

ABSTRACT: This study was used to evaluate the catalytic activity (CA) and bactericidal activity of α-MoO₃ and Sm-g-C₃N₄-doped α-MoO₃ composites prepared through an efficient, cost-effective coprecipitation route. Their characteristic studies verify the formation of α-MoO₃ and its composites (3, 6, and 9 mL Sm-g-C₃N₄-doped α-MoO₃), which showed high crystallinity, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The production of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals due to charge transfer through α-MoO₃ and g-C₃N₄ eventually forms electrons in g-C₃N₄ and holes around α-MoO₃. CA against Rhodamine B (RhB) in basic medium provides maximum results compared
