Mesoporous Cu-Doped Manganese Oxide Nano Straws for Photocatalytic Degradation of Hazardous Alizarin Red Dye.

ABSTRACT: The present work reports the photocatalytic degradation of alizarin red (AR) using Cu-doped manganese oxide (MH16-MH20) nanomaterials as catalysts under UV light irradiation. Cu-doped manganese oxides were synthesized by a very facile hydrothermal approach and characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence techniques. The structural, morphological, and optical characterization revealed that the synthesized compounds are nanoparticles (38.20-54.10 nm), grown in high mesoporous density (constant C > 100), possessing a tetragonal phase, and exhibiting 2.98-3.02 eV band gap energies. Synthesized materials were utilized for photocatalytic AR d
