one-pot microwave-combustion fabrication of bi2ti4o11 solar-energy-driven nanophotocatalyst with remediation of phenazopyridine hcl

In an effort to develop an effective photocatalyst, bi2ti4o11 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized through a facile microwave-assisted combustion method for the degradation of phenazopyridine hcl under solar light irradiation. the prepared photocatalyst was analyzed using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem). the bi2ti4o11 sample displayed a macroporous structure, indicating a high surface area favorable for photocatalytic reactions. as a result, bi2ti4o11 achieved a degradation efficiency of approximately 66.2% for a 10 mg/l phenazopyridine hcl solution after 180 minutes of irradiation.
