4. WHY I CHOOSE THIS TOPIC ?
• Harmful organic compounds in the ecological unit are the main concern
for the scientific society, which is causative agent of water pollution and
severe contamination of the environment. Waste-water containing organic
dyes (organicpollutants) inhibit sunlight penetration which
suppressesphotosynthetic reaction.
• Metal oxide semi-conducting nano materials have been proven to be very
efficient photocatalysts for the degradation of organic dye pollutants with
the help of solar light. In particular, TiO2 and ZnO are the most versatile
semiconductor oxides with applications across a wide range from
cosmetics to air purification.
• However, the poor consumption of solar energy and the short diffusion
length of photogenerated exciton are the two key factors restrictive to
further improvement of photocatalytic efficiency
• develop new and efficient sunlight-sensitive
photocatalysts.
10. HYDROTHERMAL METHODS
• The term “hydrothermal” usually refers to any heterogeneous reaction in
the presence of aqueous solvents or mineralizers under high pressure
and temperature conditions to dissolve and recrystallize materials that are
relatively insoluble under ordinary conditions.
• Uses : A large number of compounds belonging to practically all classes
have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions: elements, simple
and complex oxides , tungstates , molybdates , carbonates, silicates
, germanates etc. Hydrothermal synthesis is commonly used to grow
synthetic quartz , gems and other single crystals with commercial value.

• Materials characterization
• X‐ray diffraction (XRD) used to phase characterization and crystalline
size,
• Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to morphology and
microstructure investigations.
• Diffusive UV‐visible‐NIR spectrometry to band gap calculations
• Solar cell fabrication and testing
