This study aims to synthesize a nanocomposite photocatalyst from naturally sourced clay (montmorillonite, MMT) and titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) efficiently degrade organic dyes in wastewater under UVC light. The TNTs were synthesized through the hydrothermal method randomly attached both surface interlayer spaces of MMT sheets. Pristine was found exhibit good adsorption properties, while demonstrated strong photocatalytic activity. combination these materials MMT/TNT resulted material that exhibited properties. dye degradation efficiency reached 95%, which is significantly higher than pristine (50%) alone (60%). enhanced performance can be attributed synergistic effect between capacity activity TNTs. highlights potential using like development advanced photocatalysts for environmental remediation. offers sustainable efficient solution removal pollutants wastewater. These findings provide pathway further high-performance nanocomposites combine dual functional properties photocatalysis, contributing more treatment technologies.
