Metal nanoparticles that are widely studied in optoelectronics, catalysis, medicine, and sensors offer remarkable optical and electronic properties. To address the cost and environmental concerns associated with their synthesis, this study employs an environmentally friendly method using Laureus nobilis extract to produce silver and zinc nanoparticles, which are prominent in nanotechnology. This study includes investigations of factors such as reaction time, AgNO3/laurel ratio, Zn(Ac)2 H2O/laurel ratio and temperature in nanoparticle biosynthesis to optimize the process. The next stage was set to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of these nanoparticles, specifically against the methylene blue dye under dark and UV light conditions. Parameters such as pollutant decomposition, degradation rate, catalyst stability, and nanoparticle recovery were analysed. Structural characterization of the obtained nanoparticles was performed using UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM, and XRD techniques. The photocatalytic results showed significant degradation percentages for LB-AgNP (silver nanoparticles synthesized with Laureus nobilis extract) (97.5%) and LB-ZnNP (zinc nanoparticles synthesized with Laureus nobilis extract) (90.9%). LB-ZnNP showed superior performance. Therefore, LB-AgNP and LB-ZnNP are promising photocatalysts for water purification and the elimination of toxic organic pollutants.

Karakas, İbrahim Hakkı
In this experimental study, the synthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles, one of the most important types of ferromagnetic spinel ferrite materials was realized by using a method known as microwave assisted combustion method. The effects of the substance used as fuel on the structural, morphological, magnetic and photocatalytic properties of synthesized nanoparticles were investigated. Firstly, samples were prepared using urea, glycine and citric acid as fuel and then the samples were comprehensively characterized by advanced analysis techniques such as XRD, FT-IR, TEM, SEM, VSM, BET. Moreover, the usability of the obtained nanoparticles in photocatalytic degradation process of Procion Yellow H-E3G textile dye as photocatalyst was investigated. The results obtained indicate that the fuel used is highly effective on various properties of the synthesized materials. From the experiments performed to evaluate the photocatalytic performances of the nanoparticles, it was observed that each of the three different fuel matters used for the synthesis of nanoparticles were highly effective on the photocatalytic degradation of the organic pollutant. Furthermore, almost all the dye content in solution was completely removed at the end of the experimental period which lasted for 90 min.
