Abstract
Efficiency of the newly developed photo-catalyst (Si0.9Re0.1O2) was studied by observing the decomposition of organic pollutant (Methylene Blue, MB) under UV-vis light. The photo-catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal process. The newly developed catalyst was characterized by using various techniques, for example, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and energy dispersive X-ray. The results showed an enhancement in the output for the deprivation of aqueous solution of MB. From the results obtained, it is claimed that the developed photo-catalyst may have numerous uses in several progressive fields.
