The nanoparticles were calcined at 300, 500, and 700 °C to study the effect of the calcination temperature on their function as self-cleaning material. The nanoparticles were characterized using a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope for morphology, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy for structure, UV–Vis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy for optical analysis. The self-cleaning study was carried out by letting samples degrade methylene blue and Rhodamine-B under UV irradiation. The morphological analysis reveals particle size distribution with more disparity at higher calcination temperatures. 2023-10-06T08:26:39Z 2023-10-06T08:26:39Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11665-023-08727-2 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9496 en application/pdf Springer
