Synthesis, characterization of Mo and Mn doped ZnO and their photocatalytic activity for the decolorization of two different chromophoric dyes

- Photocatalytic performance of doped-ZnO using different chromophoric dyes.
- SEM images show fused supramolecular structure with rough surfaces.
- The red shift occurred after metal ion doping.
- ZnO with dopant 0.60% (Mo), 0.80% (Mn) showed best photocatalytic efficiency.
- Azo dye degrades faster than anthraquinone dye in the presence of Mo-doped (0.60%) ZnO.
