Water pollution is one of the most significant threats for the present and future generation. Mostly, the water bodies are polluted by the industrial pollutants like rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB). Examinations for the deprivation of RhB and MB dyes from the wastewater are crucial and were done in this article. In this study, the ZnO and Gd2O3 nanomaterials were synthesized by a two-step strategy of phytochemical-assisted green synthesis using the plant extract of Bryonia epigaea (Corallo carpus epigaeus). The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized for their optical absorbance properties and photoluminescence studies. The conducted XRD analysis confirmed that the particle obeyed the wurtzite structure with hexagonal phase. The FESEM analysis clearly indicated the rod-like structure of the ZnO nanomaterials and spherical shape of Gd2O3 nanomaterials. The degradation efficiency was remarkably higher for the ZnO/Gd2O3 nanocomposites which proved that the integration of Gd2O3 nanomaterials improved the catalytic activity of ZnO nanomaterials.
