Efficient photoactivity of Ag/CeCoO۳ toward the conversion of MB dyeunder the irradiation of light source

Photocatalysts are potent substances that play a vital role in the conversion of organic dyes [۱].Through the process of photocatalysis, photocatalysts harness light energy to initiate chemicalreactions that break down harmful organic substances into harmless byproducts. These catalystsfind wide-ranging applications, including water and air purification [۲], as they offer an efficientand environmental friendly solution for eliminating organic pollutants [۳].With their ability toharness the power of light, photocatalysts have emerged as a promising tool in the pursuit ofcleaner and safer environments [۴]. Here in, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were doped on thesurface of CeCoO۳ perovskite. Several measurement techniques including UV-Visiblespectroscopy, XRD, TEM, FE-SEM, EDS, and FT-IR were utilized to characterize the catalyst.Thesynthesized photocatalyst was employed for the conversion of Methylene Blue (MB) dye underUV light. The results demonstrated complete conversion of the MB dye within ۲۵ min.
