Abstract The discharge of dye residues from the textile industry is a major contributor to water pollution, highlighting urgent need for effective wastewater treatment solutions. This study investigates synthesis ZnO and Bi₂O₃ nanoparticles using ionic liquid-assisted methods enhanced photocatalytic degradation methylene blue. Three liquids were employed: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]-BF₄), hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM]-PF₆), chloride ([BMIM]-Cl). synthesized characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Results showed that liquid incorporation led improved crystallinity, uniform morphology, reduced particle sizes. ZnO-[BMIM]-BF₄ (1%) Bi₂O₃-[BMIM]-BF₄ exhibited lowest band gap energies 2.50 eV 2.20 respectively, indicating light absorption. These catalysts also demonstrated superior activity, achieving complete blue within 40 35 min under UV-B irradiation, 60 sunlight. performance was attributed absorption, electron–hole recombination, efficient charge transfer facilitated by liquids. excellent stability over multiple cycles. highlights potential in developing highly stable photocatalysts environmental remediation applications.

Dye residues from the textile industry significantly contribute to water pollution, necessitating effective wastewater treatment methods. This study reports successful synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using various ionic liquids (ILs), [BMIM]-BF4, [BMIM]-PF6, and [BMIM]-Cl, as mediators. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Their photocatalytic activity in degrading methyl orange (MO) dye under UV-vis sunlight irradiation was investigated. results demonstrated that ILs influenced structural optical properties ZnO, resulting smaller crystallite sizes, modified morphologies, reduced band gap energies compared unmodified ZnO. ZnO-[BMIM]-BF4 (1%) exhibited superior efficiency, achieving complete MO degradation within 30 min irradiation, attributed its enhanced light absorption electron-hole recombination. ZnO-BMIM-PF6 exceptional stability, maintaining high efficiency over multiple cycles. These findings highlight potential IL-mediated tailoring ZnO for efficient organic pollutants, offering a promising approach treatment.
