FLOWER-LIKE MORPHOLOGY OF TIN OXIDE

LOADED ON GRAPHITIC-CARBON NITRIDE FOR


PHOTODEGRADATION OF P-CRESOL

BACKGROUND OF STUDY
P-cresol and other phenols pollute water resources with their toxicity and persistence in the environment.
Photocatalyst technique use to degrade pharmaceutical pollutant with using semiconductor materials.
SnO2 nanoparticles are one of the most effective photocatalyst due to their high stability, oxidation potential,
chemical inertness, and photochemical activity.

PROBLEM STATEMENT g-C3 N4 has low surface area and high recombination rate

Activation Oxidation Process (AOP) were


costly and create a harmful byproducts Unmodified SnO2 has a high band gap and low selectivity
