What is Photocatalytic degradation activity of goji berry extract synthesized silver-loaded mesoporous zinc oxide (Ag@ZnO) nanocomposites under simulated solar light irradiation about?
Different approaches have been developed for the synthesis of various nanostructured materials with unique morphologies. This study demonstrated the photocatalytic and antimicrobial abilities of silver-loaded zinc oxide nanocomposites (Ag@ZnO NCs). Initially, ZnO with a unique mesoporous ellipsoidal morphology in the size range of 0.59 ± 0.11 × 0.33 ± 0.09 μm (length × width) was synthesized using aqueous precipitation in a mild hydrothermal condition (80 °C) with the aqueous fruit extract of goji berry (GB) (as an additive) and calcined in air at 200 °C/2 h and 250 °C/3 h. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the formation of a hexagonal phase of the wurtzite (WZ) structure. The average crystallite size of ZnO was 23.74 ± 4.9 nm as calculated using Debye–Scherrer’s equation. It also possesses higher thermal stability with the surface area, pore volume, and pore size of 11.77 m^2^/g, 0.027 cm^3^/g, and 9.52 nm, respectively. Furthermore, different mesoporous Ag@ZnO NCs loaded with face-centered cubic (fcc) silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in the range of 90–160 nm were synthesized by GB extract as a reducing and capping agent on the surface of ZnO after calcination in air.
