研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of manganese oxide and nitrogen-doped graphene nanohybrid for visible light degradation of methyl orange dye.
研究成果
The NG-MnO2 nanocomposite exhibits superior photocatalytic performance for methyl orange degradation under visible light compared to bare MnO2, with easy magnetic separation and good recyclability, making it promising for wastewater treatment.
研究不足
The study is limited to methyl orange dye degradation under visible light; other dyes or light sources were not tested. The recyclability showed a small decrease in activity after multiple cycles, indicating potential degradation over time. The synthesis method may not be scalable for industrial applications.
