Methylene Blue (MB), a frequently used cationic dye, is recognized for its persistence and probable toxicity, making its removal from wastewater an urgent environmental concern. This study reports the solar photocatalytic degradation efficiency of MB by bismuth oxybromide-green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as catalyst. AgNPs were produced by the green synthesis method from an invasive aquatic weed water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes). The AgNPs were doped on Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) nanosheets formed on the surface of carbon fibre cloth (CFC) to form the catalyst CFC-BiOBr-Ag. Under optimum conditions of 5 mg/L of initial MB concentration and near-neutral pH, one piece of CFC-BiOBr-Ag photocatalyst (5.78 mg/L) exhibited 95.68% degradation efficiency of MB in 4 h. TOC removal studies showed a removal efficiency of 74.82% after 4 h, indicating the potential for mineralization of MB. Adsorption-photocatalysis-desorption study revealed complete degradation of adsorbed MB at the end of the photocatalytic degradation. Additionally, the catalyst exhibited good reusability, with more than 84.88% degradation efficiency even after five cycles of use. Under direct sunlight, the CFC-BiOBr-Ag catalyst demonstrated MB degradation efficiency of 97.52% after 3 h of treatment. MB breakdown was evidently done by the hole (h + ) and the superoxide radical (O 2 •- ). The mechanism of MB degradation was adsorption and subsequent degradation by the CFC-BiOBr-Ag photocatalyst. The prevalent degradation reactions such as demethylation, ring opening, hydroxylation, •OH radicle attack, desulfonication, hydrolysis etc. led to formation of various intermediates which further mineralized to CO 2 and H 2 O.
