The
PCA of CeO2 and doped QDs were assessed through MB reduction
as depicted inFigure 2 . First, 30 mL of MB solution with the suspension of 5 mg of synthesized
samples was prepared and placed in the dark for 30 min. The resulting
solution was exposed to a visible light source (Hg lamp) for 2 h,
and 4 mL of the solution was taken after every 30 min. A UV–vis
spectrophotometer determined the dye decolorization. The photocatalytic
efficiency of QDs was found usingeq 1 . C0 and Ct are related
to MB’s initial and final concentrations in the absence and
presence of light, respectively.
