摘要

This study goals to examine the physical and optical attributes of manufactured samples. The silver-doped Zinc Oxide/Copper Oxide (Ag-doped ZnO/CuO) nanocomposite was synthesized for the first time with Sclerorhachis leptoclada extract as a reducing agent which highlighted its novelty. According to XRD and FE-SEM results the nanocomposite has hexagonal, monoclinic, and cubic crystal structures agglomerated with irregular shapes morphology, moreover, EDS analysis approved that synthesized sample included Zn, Cu, Ag, and O elements. The photocatalytic test of the synthesized sample examined to degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic, eriochrome black T (EBT), and methylene blue (MB) dyes and outcomes of the photocatalytic test demonstrated that the degradation percentage of TC antibiotic, and EBT and MB dyes in pH 10, nanocomposite (0.005 g for TC and 0.1 g for dyes), and dye concentration ~ 0.5 × 10−3 M was about 82%, ~ 90%, and 99% respectively.
