Novel CuO/Mn₃O₄/ZnO nanocomposite with superior photocatalytic activity for removal of Rabeprazole from water.

ABSTRACT: In this work, a nanohybrid of CuO/Mn₃O₄/ZnO was generated through a simple hydrothermal based procedure. The CuO/Mn₃O₄/ZnO nanohybrid has been characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy high resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. UV-visible spectrophotometry and photoluminescence techniques allowed evaluation of optical properties that additionally suggested the prevalence of strong interfacial interaction between the three moieties of the nanohybrid and suppressed electron-hole recombination. The hybrid photocatalyst brought on ~ 97.02 ± 1.15% disintegration of rabeprazole when illuminated with visible light. Th
