Title A name given to the resource Facile synthesis of nickel nanoparticles and its efficient dye degradation Subject The topic of the resource CTAB; Effluent; Hydrazine; Nanoparticles; Nickel; Photocatalytic degradation Description An account of the resource The present investigation involves the synthesis of nickel (Ni) nanoparticles (NPs) by the chemical reduction of nickel chloride using hydrazine hydrate without the need for an inert atmosphere from an external source. The photocatalytic activity, structure and morphology of the NPs were studied by employing UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Degradation of methylene blue(MB) and rhodamine B(Rh-B) dyes using Ni NPs was investigated to see the feasibility in degrading these dyes from polluted water at low cost. Ni NPs showed a good photocatalytic activity of 84.1% under visible light for the degradation of MB when compared to Rh-B which showed an efficiency of 47.3 %. 2020 World Research Association.
