dc.description.abstractIn this study, a novel ZnO/PMMA nanofiber catalyst was fabricated using electrospinning, resulting in a barbed wire-like structure that enhances photocatalytic performance. The research aimed to investigate the material's effectiveness in degrading organic pollutants under UV light, providing a sustainable solution for water purification. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including XRD, XPS, SEM, EDS, and FTIR, were employed to analyze the crystal structure, micromorphology, and elemental composition of the catalyst. Photocatalytic degradation experiments showed that up to 91% degradation was achieved after 60 min of UV light irradiation at pH 11, with no significant bulk adsorption observed, confirming the dominance of the photocatalytic mechanism. The optimized pH of 11 was found to be ideal for achieving high degradation rates. This novel ZnO/PMMA nanofiber structure demonstrates significant potential for environmental applications, particularly in water purification, offering an efficient and sustainable approach to pollutant removal.
