Harnessing MnMoO4 nanoparticles for eco-conscious effluent degradation and catalytic applications
摘要
The increasing need for green technology solutions to reduce water pollution and enhance sustainable catalysis has prompted the research for efficient photocatalysts. In this research, a green synthesis method was adopted to synthesize MnMoO4 NPs using solution combustion route followed by calcination. Synthesized MnMoO4 showed superior photocatalytic performance under visible light, with 91% degradation of Rose Bengal dye in aqueous medium indicates its potentiality for wastewater treatment. The material also showed catalytic efficiency in the coupling reaction of aniline and dimedone as model substrates for the synthesis of β-enaminone derivatives, displaying its usability in organic catalysis. The work highlights the dual functional ability of MnMoO4 both an organic catalyst and a photo-catalyst, providing a green path for synthetic and environmental applications. The dual functionality combined with green fabrication process exemplifies the novelty and applicability of this article.
