Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Evaluation of Manganese (III) Phthalocyanine Sensitized ZnWO<sub>4</sub> (ZnWO<sub>4</sub>MnPc) for Bisphenol A Degradation under UV Irradiation
ZnWO<sub>4</sub>MnPc was synthesized via a hydrothermal autoclave method with 1 wt.% manganese (iii) phthalocyanine content. The material was characterized for its structural and morphological features via X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrosco...
