This study investigates the synthesis and photocatalytic performance of BiVO4-Nigella Sativa/g-C3N4 composites for degradation methylene blue dye. The were synthesized using a coprecipitation method characterized through various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance (DRS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine their crystal structure, chemical composition, morphology, adsorption abilities. A variation mass ratios BiVO4 g-C3N4 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 was used in this investigation. test results indicated that composite with ratio 1:2 achieved highest degradation, reaching 91.73%, which primarily attributed an activity 81.12% 10.60%. significantly enhanced under alkaline conditions, particularly at pH levels between 9 10, facilitated formation reactive oxygen species (ROS). highlights synergistic effects combination, promotes efficient charge transfer, reduces electron-hole recombination, expands light absorption due decrease effective bandgap energy. Overall, findings indicate have considerable potential application wastewater treatment, remediation organic dye pollutants.
