contents <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Abstract</span></strong></p> <p><span>NiO₂/MoO₂ nanocomposites were electrochemically synthesized and characterized to evaluate their potential as sustainable photocatalysts. The nanocomposites were analyzed using UV-Visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, and EDAX. Photocatalytic activity was investigated through the volumetric degradation of carboxylic acids—acetic acid, chloroacetic acid, and trichloroacetic acid—in the presence of NaOH. The photocatalyst demonstrated a remarkable degradation efficiency of 97.8%. Photodegradation kinetics were analyzed, and the Taft Linear Free Energy Relationship (LFER) was applied to assess the reaction mechanism. Furthermore, the isokinetic temperature (β) for the oxidation of carboxylic acids was calculated to elucidate the thermodynamic aspects of the degradation process.
