Highly efficient CuO@ZnHCC heterostructure enabling rapid sunlight-driven detoxification of persistent organic dyes

Key Points

• The primary aim is to evaluate the efficiency of CuO@ZnHCC heterostructure for detoxifying persistent organic dyes under sunlight.
• Synthesis of CuO@ZnHCC heterostructure
• Exposure of synthetic dyes to sunlight
• Assessment of detoxification efficiency
• Significant reduction of dye toxicity observed in treated samples
• Faster detoxification rates compared to traditional methods
• Enhanced chemical stability of the heterostructure
