I am doing dye degradation catalysis using some novel catalyst in the presence of NaBH4 but do not know the exact mechanism.
Hi Navin,
ansererers are not GOD or GODS and your question is too vague, obscure and obsolete. Why:
Please give infos about your new catalyst (if confidential , you can use mesage (right side and only you and I can read and answer your question).
- Can NaBH4 react with your new catalyst?
- Can your dye react with NaBH4 (as reduced e.g. leuco form)?
Without these infos , we cannot answer and postulate a mechanism.
With few infos posted in your question, you act and post like a pupil and not like a scientist.
Thank you in advance.

It would be easier the help of the mechanisms that the degradation products were presented. It is difficult to evaluate a degradation mechanism without the specific data of the dye molecule and in particular its products formed after the photocatalytic process.
Enter more information that will be easier to help you in your doubts.
Thank you for your replies Ravi, Ailton and Prof Grezes. Apologies for not giving proper details. My catalyst system consist of metal nanoparticles immobilized over graphene polymer composite, which i used for degradation of Rhodamine B, and methyl orange in presence of NaBH4. I got some good results but not very much sure of mechanism. I am following the same mechanism as Mr. Ravi has suggested in his answer. It would be very greatful of you if you can help me further in this regard.
Regarding reactivity catalyst is not reactive to NaBH4 (as i have used NaBH4 for catalyst synthesis already) but yes dyes are reactive to NaBH4.
Thank you in advance
