Abstract
This study investigates the synthesis and performance evaluation of a visible light-driven photocatalyst, Bi2WO6/ZnO, for degrading industrial sewage dyes and its antimicrobial activity. The novel Bi2WO6/ZnO composite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD analysis confirmed the presence of diffraction peaks corresponding to Bi2 WO6 and ZnO, indicating high purity and crystallinity. FTIR analysis validated the chemical bonds of Bi2WO6 and ZnO in the composite material. TEM analysis revealed nanoparticle sizes of approximately 46 nm, corroborating the XRD results. Additionally, selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns supported the crystalline nature of the composite.
