Assessment of Methyl Orange Dye Degradation via Low-temperature Hydrothermal TiO2Nanospheres Synthesis | Chapter 5 | Current Innovations in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 3

 Photocatalytic shame of dyes is an important issue in any branch of natural science and pollution research. The dyes present in water are highly poisonous, carcinogenic, and xenobiotic towards living structures. Herein, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were synthesized by a surfactant-templated hydrothermal method at low temperature (75°C) for photocatalytic uses. TiO2 NPs were examined for their structural, ocular, and photocatalytic capabilities utilizing FT-IR, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning power microscopy (SEM), high-judgment transmission power microscopy (HR-TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A nanocrystalline structure and almost regular round form were confirmed apiece structural investigation of a polycrystalline tetragonal anatase TiO2 state.  It was discovered that the caused TiO2 NPs have an energy bandgap advantage between 4.42 and 4.46 eV, resulting in a photodegradation adeptness of 81% to 88% under UV visible light.
