Abstract
) can be achieved as compared to earlier reports. It is also noted that the change in the degradation efficiency of the reused catalyst is negligible when compared to the fresh one. Here, the dye degradation mechanism is discussed. Overall, this study reveals that hematite nanoparticles can be used as efficient photocatalyst for dye degradation applications by optimizing the controlling factors. These observations provide novel perspectives on the development of effective and sustainable photocatalytic technologies for pollution control and water treatment applications.
