Abstract

A simple, low temperature solution method is employed to synthesize ZnO nanoflowers (NFs) using zinc nitrate as precursor for the photocatalytic degradation of bromophenol (Bph) dye. The synthesized material exhibits well-defined flower like morphology comprised of several defined nanorods. The crystalline and optical observations manifest the high crystallinity of ZnO-NFs with wide band gap of ~3.21 eV. The synthesized ZnO NFs as catalyst presents a rapid degradation of Bph-dye with the degradation rate of ~96% within 120 min under the UV light irradiation. The fragmentations of Bph-dye after the photocatalytic reaction over ZnO-NFs are analyzed by interpreting the mass spectroscopy of degraded Bph-dye.
