A simple and clean synthesis for NdSnO-SnO nanocomposites as high-efficiency visible-light responsive photocatalyst is described applying extract of pineapple, for the first time. As novel and non-toxic biofuel, extract of pineapple, is employed to fabricate NdSnO-SnO nanocomposites through an environment-friendly procedure. The findings denote that the applied biofuel can play a meaningful role as capping agent during preparation of NdSnO-SnO nanocomposites. Depending on the applied dosage of pineapple extract as well as time for fabrication, the grain size, photocatalytic yield and morphology of NdSnO-SnO structures changed. A suite of identification methods like XRD, TEM, EDS, DRS, BET and FESEM are utilized for investigation of the produced NdSnO-SnO nanocomposites. NdSnO-SnO structures are utilized as visible-light responsive photocatalyst to degrade the rhodamine B and eosin Y contaminants. The produced NdSnO-SnO nanocomposites have been found to be very effective as visible-light responsive photocatalyst to degrade contaminants which may bring to environmental pollution.
一种简单而清洁的方法，用于合成 NdSnO-SnO 纳米复合材料，作为高效可见光响应光催化剂，这是首次应用菠萝提取物。作为新型无毒生物燃料，菠萝提取物通过环保工艺被应用于 NdSnO-SnO 纳米复合材料的制备中。研究结果表明，在 NdSnO-SnO 纳米复合材料的制备过程中，所应用的生物燃料可以作为一种有意义的封端剂。根据菠萝提取物的用量和制备时间的不同，NdSnO-SnO 结构的晶粒尺寸、光催化产率和形貌都会发生变化。一系列的鉴定方法，如 XRD、TEM、EDS、DRS、BET 和 FESEM，被用于研究所制备的 NdSnO-SnO 纳米复合材料。NdSnO-SnO 结构被用作可见光响应光催化剂，以降解罗丹明 B 和曙红 Y 污染物。研究发现，所制备的 NdSnO-SnO 纳米复合材料作为可见光响应光催化剂非常有效，可以降解可能造成环境污染的污染物。
