摘要: Solar light active ternary ZnS/CdS/Ag2S nanocatalysts have been synthesized via a hydrothermal process. The crystal structure, optical, morphological and surface area of the catalyst are characterized by XRD, UV DRS, PL, FE-SEM BET measurements. has decreased band gap energy value compared to that ZnS semiconductor. was scrutinized for its catalytic performance under direct sunlight towards degradation textile dye – Congo red at different time intervals. results confirm Ag2S incorporated nanocatalyst good photocatalytic when binary mono semiconductor systems.
