Microwave-assisted fabrication of copper nanoparticles utilizing different counter ions: An efficient photocatalyst for photocatalytic degradation of safranin dye from aqueous media
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract We herein have developed a facile, cost-effective, microwave method for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles using different counter ions: sulfate, chloride, acetate, and nitrate. The preparation was performed using ethylene glycol and sodium hypophosphite as a reaction medium and reducing agent, respectively. FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, XPS, DRS, and TEM techniques were used for characterization of the products. The results exhibited that the counter ions have a significant influence on the products. Copper sulfate and copper chloride salts produced the purest copper nanoparticles with 45 and 48 nm average particle size, respectively. All copper nanostructures showed high photocatalytic activity (95.0–98.0 %) for the degradation of safranin (Saf) dye under UV irradiation in 70 min. The apparent first-order rate constant (kapp) was 0.0446 min−1 for the Cu nanoparticles prepared using copper sulfate (CuSNPS). The copper product showed good reusability, stability, and applicability for the removal of Saf dye from aqueous solutions.
