Ultrasonic assisted synthesis of RGO supported HoVO4-ZnO nanocomposites, their enhanced photocatalytic activities and Rhodamine B degradation

The RGO-supported HoVO4-ZnO nanocomposite was synthesized using the ultra sonication process. X-ray diffraction patterns, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, Diffractive Reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy were employed to examine the heterostructured photocatalyst in this research study. The photocatalytic efficiency of the RGO-supported HoVO4-ZnO nanoparticles, under UV light irradiation, in the degradation of Rhodamine-B dye was investigated. Undoped ZnO, bare HoVO4, and HoVO4 -ZnO, degraded at 55.6, 57.5, and 74.33 percent in 45 min, respectively. This new RGO coupled HoVO4-ZnO exhibits enhanced photocatalytic efficiency compared to the bare ZnO and HoVO4-ZnO nanocomposite.
