Synthesis of Template-Free Iron Oxyhydroxide Nanorods for Sunlight-Driven Photo-Fenton Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: Designing a photocatalyst with high efficiency using semiconductor materials emerges as a promising approach for the treatment of wastewater. At the same time, it is very essential to develop nondestructive, green, and sustainable techniques for the degradation of refractory pollutants. Here, we have demonstrated a facile route to prepare iron oxyhydroxide nanorods (β-FeOOH) without employment of any templating agent via a light-driven solution chemistry pathway and explored the as-prepared nanorods as the photo-Fenton catalyst under solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic experiments were performed toward the degradation of the aqueous solution of two different pollutants, namely, methylene blue and rhodamine B dyes. We have illustrated the effect of pH of the solution together with t
