Abstract
A CuO-Agave nanocomposite (CuO-ANC) was synthesized by using activated carbon powder form Agave plant following probe sonication method. The average crystallite size of CuO was observed to be in the range of 20 nm and 30 nm as confirmed by Powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD). The average energy gap of CuO-ANC (4.9-5.3eV) was confirmed by using diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (DRS) study. The electrochemical features of CuO-ANC electrode were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The CuO-ANC has been applied as a novel photocatalyst for removal of acid-red (AR8) and acid orange (AO8) dyes. The results support the claim of the synthesized CuO-ANC as a promising material for photocatalytic and electrochemical applications.
