Title of Project: ‘Driving the photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3 towards TiO2 for Safranin and Rhodamine dye degradation.’

Name of Project Guide: Dr. Vikram Uttam Pandit, H. V. Desai College, Pune

Duration of Project: 12 Months (M.Sc. Project)

During my project work, I have synthesized Fe2O3-TiO2 nanocomposites in various ratios using sol gel auto-combustion method. Fe2O3 and TiO2 semiconductor Photocatalysts synthesized individually and mixed to form its nanocomposites. Characterization of Fe2O3-TiO2 is done by using XRD, UV, FTIR and Raman analysis. These prepared catalysts used as a Photocatalysts for Safranin and Rhodamine dye degradation.

Title of Project: Safranin dye degradation by using Fe2O3-SnO2 Nanocomposites under natural Sunlight

Abstract: Metal oxide based semiconductor photocatalysts are well known for multifunctional applications. Herein, we have reported the ex-situ synthesis of Fe2O3-SnO2 nanocomposite system using simple wet impregnation method. Total five semiconductor nanomaterial photocatalysts were prepared as Fe2O3, SnO2, 1, 2.5 and 5% of SnO2 over Fe2O3 surface. After successful synthesis of these photocatalysts its formation is checked using UVVis spectroscopy, FTIR and RAMAN analysis. Photocatalytic dye degradation performance is checked towards safranin dye using all the five photocatalyst systems. Resultant composite photocatalysts were not showed some impressive photocatalytic activities as compared to individuals. This above observation is may be due to the less gap between conduction band levels of both photocatalyst systems.

Book Chapter: Organic Semiconductor for Hydrogen Production

Abstract: The quest of conquering balanced environment for the ultimate search of “Who am I” furnished to pollution and energy crises. As the viable world development is dependent on effective utilization of available renewable energy resources. Hydrogen fuel as an energy source is the future for many upcoming generations as it never produces pollutants. 6, 13 Pentacenequinone (PENQ) is recently developed and reported organic photocatalyst for the generation of hydrogen from water as well as hydrogen sulfide. PENQ can be synthesized and characterized using different methods and techniques/approaches that are listed in this chapter. Green Solid state synthesis method of PENQ is the most promising one as it gives high yield at room temperature and without solvents. Structural characterization of this novel organic catalyst were done using powdered XRD. Cyclic voltammetry is used for the calculating the difference between valance and conduction band levels in the organic PENQ catalyst. After complete structural and morphological characterization, organic PENQ was explored for the hydrogen production from hydrogen sulfide. This photocatalytic nature was also being confirmed using its composites/ coupled systems (PENQ: TiO2 and PENQ: MoS2) using hydrogen sulfide and water.
