| Description | Activated carbon doping $TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles were synthesised by zapota leaf extract using the co-precipitation method. The bio-constituents of plant compounds were used in the reactions of stabilization and reductions. The carbon loading on the $TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles was characterised by XRD, FTIR, UV-DRS, SEM with EDX, and TEM analysis. The loading of activated carbon onto the $TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles decreased the crystallite size and optical bandgap, and their doping improved the surface structure of $AC/TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles. Mesoporous/microporous instability was remodified from the activated carbon, which was visualised using SEM and TEM analysis, respectively. The photocatalytic dye degradation of Rh-B dye was degraded in $TiO_{2}$ and $AC/TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles under visible light irradiation. The degradation efficiencies of $TiO_{2}$ and $AC/TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles were 73% and 91%, respectively. The bacterial abilities of $TiO_{2}$ and $AC/TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles were examined by E. coli and S. aureus. The water reclamation efficiency and bactericidal effect of $TiO_{2}$ and $AC/TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles were examined via catalytic dye degradation and bacterial efficiency of activated carbon-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles. |
