Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, a novel efficient ZrO2-decorated core–shell nanocomposites of Sm2O3@Co3O4were synthesized for photoluminescence and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photoluminescence of the as-synthesized irregular spherical nanoparticles of ZrO2–Sm2O3@Co3O4attributed to the suppression of charge carrier recombination and separation of photoexcited electron–hole pairs by the addition of Zr4+ion as dopant. Rhombohedral crystal phase of the nanocomposites exhibited redshift of optical absorptivity and compared with core shell of Sm2O3@Co3O4nanocomposites, upon excitation (λexcitation= 310 nm) nanocomposite showed emission intensities at 455.3 nm, 497.1 nm and 630.3 nm. The photocatalytic activity of ZrO2–Sm2O3@Co3O4nanocomposite under visible light irradiation is due to surface plasmonic effect and interaction between Zr4+and Sm2O3, Co3O4nanoparticles. However, the degradation efficiency of the catalysts decreased upon further increasing the amount of dopant due to the recombination of holes and photoexcited electrons.Graphical abstract
