Synthesis and Characterization of Highly Efficient Nickel Nanocatalysts and Their Use in Degradation of Organic Dyes
Figure 1
UV-Vis spectra recorded for (a) optimization of reducing agent (hydrazine monohydrate, 0.2 M), resulting in a blue shift in from 391 nm to 366 nm with increase in absorbance at various concentrations; (b) optimization of TX-100 (0.5 M) at various concentrations, resulting in a red shift in from 382 nm to 393 nm with increase in absorbance; and (c) (selected spectra) optimization of pH study where we observed a blue shift in from 391 nm to 357 nm with increase in absorbance. Further detail is given in the experimental section.
