Abstract
The novel Ag-0/Cu2MoO4 nanoparticles was simply synthesized via chemical method. Ag/Cu2MoO4 nanoparticles was characterized by FESEM image, XRD curve, UV-vis spectroscopy, BET analysis, and XPS spectrum. XRD pattern depicts that the cubic crystalline phase of particles. The band gap of Ag/Cu2MoO4 nanoparticles was achieved to 2.04 eV, which that depicted the best activity under visible light irradiation. Ag/Cu2MoO4 nano-particles exhibits 99.74% degradation under light and persulfate ion which was higher response than Cu2MoO4 nanoparticles (83.56%) under this condition. The scavenging test indicates the important reactive species in removal process were center dot OH, and center dot SO4-. The Ag/Cu2MoO4 nanoparticles was indicated highly photo-stability for the MG degradation after 5th cycle. Ag/Cu2MoO4 exhibits substantial antibacterial properties against P. aeruginosa and S. pneumoniae. Moreover, Ag/Cu2MoO4 nanoparticles was experimented to peroxidase-like performance for the colorimetric detection of glucose with the Limit of Detection about 52.23 nM.
