The CuO/Zn 2 SnO 4 nanocomposites were developed to evaluate their potential as photocatalysts for the degradation of ciprofloxacin, a pharmaceutical pollutant commonly found in water sources. The materials were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, and UV-Vis DRS analyses. XRD results confirmed that the CuO/Zn 2 SnO 4 nanocomposites, prepared with various CuO concentrations (20, 40, 60, and 80% w/w), exhibited good crystallinity and high purity. SEM analysis revealed that the morphology of the composites consisted of square-shaped nanosheets resembling CuO and irregular, round particles with non-uniform sizes resembling Zn 2 SnO 4 . TEM analysis further confirmed that the CuO/Zn 2 SnO 4 nanocomposite with 40% CuO exhibited irregular square and round nanosheets with an average size of 69.53 nm. UV-Vis DRS analysis showed that the band gap of pure Zn 2 SnO 4 (3.22 eV) decreased after the incorporation of CuO, with values of 1.67 eV (20%), 1.46 eV (40%), 1.50 eV (60%), and 1.50 eV (80%). The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was evaluated based on the degradation of ciprofloxacin under sunlight irradiation. The degradation percentages of pure Zn 2 SnO 4 , pure CuO, and CuO/Zn 2 SnO 4 with 20% CuO were 78.3%, 8.9%, and 47.1%, respectively. This study demonstrates that the CuO/Zn 2 SnO 4 nanocomposite has fewer active surface sites than pure Zn 2 SnO 4 , which significantly influences its photocatalytic performance. }, issn = {2597-9914}, pages = {98--105} doi = {10.14710/jksa.28.2.98-105}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/ksa/article/view/69160} }
