Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Ni doping on the enhancement of ZnO-based reusable photocatalytic materials. Ni concentrations derived from nickel chloride hexahydrate were 0 wt% (ZN-1), 1 wt% (ZN-2), and 3 wt% (ZN-3). Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis reveals a significant morphological transformation from flower-like structures in pure ZnO to nanoridges in Ni-doped ZnO. X-ray diffraction data indicate a reduction in crystalline quality with Ni incorporation. UV-Vis spectroscopy shows an increase in the bandgap from 3.22 eV for pure ZnO (ZN-1) to 3.34 eV for Ni-doped ZnO (ZN-2 and ZN-3). Photocatalytic efficiency improves markedly, achieving 30%, 60%, and 80% degradation for ZN-1, ZN-2, and ZN-3, respectively, after 1-hour illumination. Notably, the photocatalytic performance remains robust even after five recycling cycles. These findings reveal the potential of Ni-doped ZnO as a cost-effective, reusable, and highly efficient photocatalytic material.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of organic pollutants in wastewater poses a significant environmental challenge due to their persistence and harmful effects. Photocatalysis using semiconductor nanoparticles, such as ZnO, has emerged as a promising approach for pollutant degradation, but optimizing the structural and functional properties of these materials remains a critical challenge. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal method with varying durations (4, 6, and 8 hours) to investigate the impact of synthesis time on their photocatalytic efficiency. The structural and compositional properties were characterized using SEM, XRD, and EDS analyses, revealing that longer synthesis times improve crystallinity and alter the Zn:O atomic ratio, affecting defect density and stoichiometry. Photocatalytic performance was evaluated through the degradation of an organic pollutant under UV illumination. ZnO-6h exhibited the highest rate constant (k=0.017 min−1), outperforming ZnO-4h (k=0.016 min−1) and ZnO-8h (k=0.013 min−1). This superior activity is attributed to an optimal combination of high crystallinity, intermediate morphology, and the presence of oxygen vacancies that enhance charge carrier dynamics. The findings demonstrate that synthesis duration is a critical parameter in tuning the structural and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoparticles. This study provides insights into the design of ZnO-based photocatalysts and underscores their potential for environmental remediation. Future research could extend these findings by exploring scalability and pollutant-specific applications, paving the way for more efficient wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract

Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) is a promising pseudocapacitive material for supercapacitor applications due to its high theoretical capacitance and electrochemical stability. However, its practical performance is limited by low electrical conductivity and poor ion transport kinetics. In this work, we report the enhancement of Nb2O5 electrode performance through molybdenum (Mo) doping and thermal calcination. Mo-doped Nb2O5 nanostructures were synthesized via a hydrothermal method followed by calcination at 500 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed a rougher morphology and homogeneous Mo distribution in the doped sample. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a structural transformation from a deformed orthorhombic phase in pristine Nb2O5 to a more crystalline pseudohexagonal phase in Mo-Nb2O5-500. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in capacitive behavior, with Mo-Nb2O5-500 achieving a specific capacitance of 55.3 F/g at 5 mV/s, which is five times higher than the undoped sample. All electrodes exhibited stable cycling performance. These results highlight the synergistic role of Mo doping and calcination in enhancing the electrochemical properties of Nb2O5, offering a viable approach for developing high-performance pseudocapacitor electrodes.
