Preparation, physicochemical characteristics and bioactivity of citron peel/chitosan nanocomposite by photocatalysis
Abstract
The present study reports an eco-friendly synthesis of chitosan/Fruit peel (CS NCs) nanocomposite using Citron by a biological method. The synthesized CS nanocomposite was characterized by using UV–visible spectroscopy; X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The XRD analysis revealed tetragonal crystalline structure of CS nanocomposite. Electron microscopy images showed agglomeration of CS nanocomposite having agglomerate spherical shaped structure with an average size of 21–47nm. The observed bands around 400–500cm−1 in the IR spectrum indicated the presence of Carboxylic and aromatic compounds, whereas bands at 1512 and 1745cm−1 indicated the presence of amine groups (−NH2) which confirms the presence of CS in the CS/fruit peel nanocomposite. The synthesized nanocomposite showed potential antibacterial activity against various pathogens. Furthermore, CS nanocomposite acted as photocatalyst for the degradation of Rhodamine under UV light irradiation. In conclusion, as-synthesized CS nanocomposite can be used as bactericidal agent in textile industries and also as photocatalyst for dye degradation.
