description | Energy and water related problems have attracted strong attention from scientists across the world because of deficient energy and water pollution. Following this line, new strategy depended on preparing nanolayers of Al/Zn and magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt iron oxides nanocomposite in addition to long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid to be used as roofs, fillers and pillars; respectively, to design optical-active nanohybrids in sunlight for removing the colored pollutants from water in few minutes. By using long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid, X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and TEM images showed expansion of the interlayered spacing from 0.76 nm to 2.02 nm and insertion of magnetic nanoparticles among the nanolayers of Al/Zn. The optical properties and activities showed that the nanohybrid structure based on zinc oxide led to clear reduction of the band gap energy from 3.3 eV to 2.75 eV to be effective in sunlight. Photocatalytic degradation of the dye of acid green 1 confirmed the high activity of the prepared zinc oxide nanohybrids because of a complete removal of the dye after ten minutes in sunlight. Finally, this strategy was effective for producing photo-active nanohybrids for using renewable and non-polluting energy for purifying water. |
