Abstract

We report the optical and structural properties of ZnO and MgO nanoparticles. The samples are obtained by a simple method using a new template of hexamethylene tetramine. The optical properties of the samples are studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. Their crystal structure and morphology are studied by XRD and scanning electron microscopy. The absorption spectra of MgO and ZnO show that the optical band gaps are 4.27 eV and 3.02 eV, respectively. In this investigation the photocatalytic degradation of indigo carmine (IC) in water is studied. The effects of some parameters such as pH, amount of catalyst, initial concentration of dye, are examined.
