The goal of this research was to employ copper-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Cu/ZnONPs) as an adsorbent to remove the potentially toxic azo dye Congo red (CR). The Cu/ZnONPs were made using a chemical coprecipitation method, and their characteristics were examined using XRD, SEM, EDS, and FTIR methods.
