In present study, a photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine-B by micro-crystalline polyoxometalates (POM) is investigated. The polyoxometalates catalyst is synthesized using microemulsion method and characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. Photocatalytic degradation experiment is carried out in a setup by UV light irradiation in presence of catalyst and the degradation progress is evaluated using UV-visible spectrophotometer.

The development of biodegradable and biocompatible fluorescent materials with tunable emission in the solid state has become increasingly relevant for smart packaging and biomedical applications. Molecular packing and conformations play...
