Due to wide visible light range, ZnS becomes a promising semiconductor in formation of photocatalysts. The bandgap energies (Eg) of all prepared samples ZnS NCs and MWCNTs/ZnS nanocomposites were evaluated and Methylene Blue (MB) degradation study occurring of ZnS NCs and MWCNTs/ZnS nanocomposites were evaluated under visible light using UV-visible spectroscopy. The author found that removal rate of MB is greater than 95 percentage in the presence of MWCNTs/ZnS composites photocatalysts after 50 min. Crystalline grain size and structure of photocatalyst were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity can be associated by many factors like a suitable band gap in visible region, crystalline structure of nanocomposites and particle size in nanometer (nm) of the MWCNTs/ZnS nanocomposites. The suitable photocatalytic reaction and mechanisms of MB degradation also included in this article. popup.nrat_date 2025-03-24 Close
