This study aims to investigate the capability of semiconductors such as titanium dioxide, copper oxide and zinc oxide used to remove a hazardous Phenol Red organic dye texture from an aqueous solution. In this sheet, (ZnO), (CuO) and (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles were synthesised utilise a simple chemical process. Nanocomposite has been synthesised by physical process. The purpose of the research was to investigate semiconductors’ capability, such as titanium dioxide, copper oxide, and zinc oxide, to take off a hazardous Phenol Red, a texture dye from an aqueous solution. These nanoparticles and composites’ structural properties described using (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM). This paper describes photocatalytic degradation of Phenol Red dye solution using composite CuO/ZnO /TiO 2 nanocomposite photocatalysts, in the form of CuO/ ZnO/TiO 2 composite as a paint on the Stainless Steel cell, under ultraviolet (UV) irradiations. The effect of factors affecting the reaction, such as the dye’s primary concentration, the effect of temperature, and the value of the acidic function, were studied. The experiential results show that the CuO/ ZnO/TiO2 composite can remove the Phenol Red from wastewater by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and an average volume of copper oxide molecules. The formula of Debar Shearer found that it is equal to 21.33 nm. For zinc oxide, the particle size constructed to be 18.13 nm and titanium oxide was found to be 42.63, and the particle size of the Nano chemical mixture was 20.48 nm. And CuO/ZnO /TiO2 Nanocomposite 20.48, respectively.
