- Abstract
In the present study, copper molybdate (CuMoO) nanoparticles were prepared through a sonochemical route with the aid of copper(II) nitrate hexahydrate and ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate in water without adding surfactant, capping agent or template. The structural, morphological and optical properties of as-obtained products were characterized by techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The samples indicated a paramagnetic behavior, as evidenced by using vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. To evaluate the catalytic properties of nanocrystalline CuMoO, the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange under ultraviolet light irradiation was carried out.
