Evaluation of the Influence of Morphological Parameters in Nanocrystals applied to the Photodegradation of Pollutants
Evaluation of the Influence of Morphological Parameters in Nanocrystals applied to the Photodegradation of Pollutants
This project aimed to contribute to the understanding of the interference of synthesis parameters on the properties of the nanomaterials obtained, allowing the integration of new variables into the photocatalyst project. The bench-scale testing of photocatalytic efficiency was performed using ultraviolet and visible radiation, observing the degradation of the dye and pesticide molecules through spectroscopic measurements in the UV-Vis range, electrochemical measurements, and measuring the generation of free radicals by paramagnetic spectroscopy resonance.
