In recent years, photocatalysis has been used as an environmentally friendly method for the degradation of organic pigments in water. In this study, Ce/Ce-doped ZrO/CuO as a mixed semiconductor oxide was successfully prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method. The Ce/Ce-doped ZrO/CuO has shown high degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB), and the maximum degradation percentage was observed to be 94.5% at 180 min under irradiation visible light. The photocatalytic activity increases significantly by doping Ce/Ce in ZrO/CuO for MB degradation. Ce/Ce doping is shown to reduce the (e/h) recombination rate and improve the charge transfer, leading to enhanced photocatalytic activity of materials. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FTIR, EDS, BET and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS).
近年来，光催化已被用作一种环境友好型方法来降解水中的有机颜料。在本研究中，通过一步水热法成功制备了Ce/Ce掺杂的ZrO/CuO混合半导体氧化物。Ce/Ce掺杂的ZrO/CuO对亚甲基蓝（MB）显示出高降解效率，在可见光照射下180分钟时观察到最大降解率为94.5%。通过在ZrO/CuO中掺杂Ce/Ce用于MB降解，光催化活性显著提高。结果表明，Ce/Ce掺杂降低了（e/h）复合率并改善了电荷转移，从而提高了材料的光催化活性。通过X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、透射电子显微镜（TEM）、傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）、能谱仪（EDS）、比表面积分析仪（BET）和漫反射光谱（DRS）对材料进行了表征。
