Methylene blue (MB), a cationic phenothiazine dye, is toxic, difficult to degrade naturally. The integration of chitosan, MoS₂, and ZnO effectively enhances photocatalytic performance by improving surface adsorption and photodegradation activity under visible light. In this research, the Chitosan/ZnO-MoS2 nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using the casting method, characterized using SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, UV-Vis, and UV-DRS. The addition of MoS2 30 w/w% to ZnO nanoparticles yielded ZnO-MoS₂ nanocomposite with a band gap energy of 2.81 eV and an average particle size of 74.68 nm as measured by TEM. The application of the nanocomposite as a photocatalyst was optimized using the response surface methodology-central composite design (RSM-CCD), with methylene blue degradation as the response model. The independent variables included the MoS₂-to-ZnO ratio, the chitosan-to-ZnO-MoS₂ ratio, and irradiation time. The optimal conditions were achieved with 30 w/w% MoS₂-to-ZnO, 3 w/v% chitosan-to-ZnO-MoS₂, and irradiation time of 120 minutes, resulting in a reduced band gap energy of 2.69 eV and 89.196% degradation of MB under visible light. The degradation kinetics of MB followed a pseudo-first-order reaction, with a rate constant of 0.0048 min⁻¹. The incorporation of the biopolymer chitosan into the ZnO-MoS₂ composite presents an environmentally friendly approach to enhancing photocatalytic efficiency in dye degradation processes."

"Pewarna sintesis merupakan salah satu bahan pencemar lingkungan perairan karena sifatnya yang sulit terurai dan persisten sehingga dapat menghambat penetrasi cahaya matahari masuk ke dalam air dan menyebabkan penurunan aktivitas fotosintesis. Fotokatalitik dilakukan untuk mendegradasi pewarna sintesis dengan menggunakan CuBi2O4 yang memiliki energi celah pita sebesar 1.75 eV. Namun, rekombinasi pasangan e-/h+ pada CuBi2O4 dapat terjadi akibat celah pita yang sempit serta karena memiliki sifat mobilitas pembawa muatan yang buruk.

Synthetic dyes are one of the pollutants in the aquatic environment because they are difficult to decompose and are persistent, so they can inhibit the penetration of sunlight into the water and cause a decrease in photosynthetic activity. Photocatalytic was performed to degrade synthetic dyes using CuBi2O4 which has a band gap energy of 1.75 eV. However, recombination of the e-/h+ pair on CuBi2O4 can occur due to the narrow band gap and because it has poor charge carrier mobility. In order to reduce the recombination of e-/h+ pairs in CuBi2O4, Ag was added so that the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation increased. CuBi2O4 was synthesized by the solvothermal method while Ag/CuBi2O4 was synthesized by the precipitation-reduction method with the mole ratio of Ag:CuBi2O4 precursors (1:1), (2:1), and (1:2). The CuBi2O4 and Ag/CuBi2O4 nanocomposites produced were characterized by XRD, TEM, FTIR, and UV-Vis DRS. The photocatalytic ability of Ag/CuBi2O4 nanocomposites in degrading methylene blue was analyzed with various catalyst types, catalyst mass variations (5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg), irradiation time variations, and conditions variations (adsorption and photolysis). Degradation results of methylene blue by CuBi2O4 and Ag/CuBi2O4 were analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the addition of Ag into CuBi2O4 increased the photocatalytic activity. The greatest percentage of methylene blue degradation occurred at 10 mg Ag/CuBi2O4 (2:1) which was 82,51% with a rate constant of 9.07 x 10-3 min-1."

Textile industry is the largest contributor of colorant waste into water, for instance, the toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable dye methylene blue. One of the techniques to reduce the concentration of methylene blue is through photocatalytic degradation using a semiconductor. CuBi2O4 is a p-type semiconductor with a narrow bandgap (1.5 - 1.8 eV) that can be utilized as a photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation due to its visible light response. The addition of the noble metal Palladium (Pd) can enhance the photocatalytic activity of CuBi2O4 by suppressing the recombination of electron-hole pairs (e− dan h+). In this research, CuBi2O4 has been successfully synthesized through the solvothermal method, and Pd/CuBi2O4 nanocomposites have been synthesized with various ratios of Pd:CuBi2O4 (1:1, 1:2, and 2:1) using the precipitation and reduction method.

"Limbah zat warna merupakan salah satu kontributor terbesar dalam terjadinya polusi air. Degradasi limbah zat warna menggunakan suatu fotokatalis perlu dilakukan untuk menangani permasalahan limbah tersebut.

Dye waste is one of the biggest contributors to water pollution. Degradation of dye waste using a photocatalyst needs to be done to deal with this waste problem. CuBi2O4 and CuO are metal oxide-based p-type semiconductors that have a narrow band gap, responsive to visible light, and can be used as photocatalysts material. Synthesis of CuBi2O4 and CuO using solvothermal and hydrothermal methods was successfully carried out which was confirmed by XRD, FTIR, TEM, and UV-Vis DRS. CuBi2O4 and CuO show bandgap energy 1.76 eV and 1.55 eV, respectively. However, both materials exhibit poor photocatalytic performance due to the fast recombination rate of electron-hole pairs, so that the synthesis of heterojunction materials was carried out to overcome this deficiency. CuBi2O4/CuO composite was synthesis by grinding annealing method using various CuBi2O4:CuO mass ratios (1:1, 1:2, and 2:1). Furthermore, CuBi2O4/CuO composite were characterized using XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis DRS, and TEM.

One of the dye wastes from the textile industry is methylene blue. Methylene blue (MB) is widely used because of its bright and stable color. However, MB is toxic, non-biodegradable, and poses environmental and health risks. To address these issues, photocatalytic technology is employed to degrade organic compounds. In this study, a WO3/g-C3N4 catalyst was used, with variations in WO3 composition composite to g-C3N4 and catalyst loading. The photocatalyst was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Photoluminescence. Degradation testing was conducted by measuring changes in methylene blue concentration before and after radiation, using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. SEM/EDX characterization results showed that the morphology of g-C3N4 was sheet-like, WO3 was aggregate-shaped, and the WO3/g-C3N4 composite was sheet-like covered by aggregates. XRD characterization indicated that the crystalline phase of g-C3N4 was hexagonal, while the crystalline phase of WO3 was dominated by monoclinic. UV-Vis DRS characterization showed that the band gap energy values of each catalyst ranged from 2.64 to 2.86 eV, enabling visible light absorption. Photoluminescence characterization shows that the WO3/g-C3N4 photocatalyst synthesized with a 1:3 ratio has a lower recombination rate compared to g-C₃N₄, with the proposed charge transfer mechanism being a Z-scheme heterojunction based on photoluminescence characterization. The WO3/g-C3N4 composite with a 1:3 ratio is the optimal composition for degrading methylene blue. The optimal loading concentration of the WO₃/g-C₃N₄ composite (1:3) is 150 mg/L for a 10 ppm methylene blue solution."
