  • A nanocomposite photocatalyst CuNPs@PVDF including polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanoparticles loaded with copper nanoparticles (CuNps). In an embodiment, the nanocomposite photocatalyst can be effectively used to degrade industrial contaminants and dye compounds typically found in wastewater environments. The nanocomposite photocatalyst can be contacted with a solution including an organic dye under sun irradiation to achieve photochemical degradation of the organic dye.
