Boron carbide: A traditional ceramic material shows unique properties when\nexplored in nano-range. Specially designed boron based nanocomposite has been\nsynthesized by reflux method. The addition of SnO2 in base matrix increase the\ndefect states in boron carbide and shows unique catalytic properties. The\ncalculated texture coefficient and Nelson Riley factor shows that the\nsynthesized nanocomposite have very high defect states. Also this composite is\nexplored for the first time for catalysis degradation of industrial used dyes.\nThe industrial pollutants such as Novacron red and methylene blue dye\ndegradation analysis reveal that the composite is an efficient catalyst.\nDegradation study shows that 1 g/L catalyst concentration of B4C/SnO2 degrade\nNovacron red Huntsman dye upto 97.38% approximately in 20 minutes under\nsunlight irradiation time. This water insoluble catalyst can be recovered and\nreused.\n
