Using a hydrothermal synthesis process, Fe-doped ZnO/SnS nanostructures were created and a variety of analytical methods were used to describe their characteristics. X-ray diffraction patterns were employed to confirm the hexagonal and orthorhombic crystal structures of ZnO and SnS, respectively. Nanorods and nanoparticle clouds were visible in TEM pictures, and XPS investigation verified that the dopant Fe ions were in the 3+ oxidation state. Additionally, absorption spectroscopy revealed a decrease in the energy bandgap with an increase in Fe content, and photoluminescence analysis demonstrated that the ZSF3 sample significantly reduced the rate of recombination of charge carriers. Impressively, the optimized sample (ZSF3) displayed 95.8% more photocatalytic activity during the 120 min degradation of MB dye. This study demonstrated that an easy hydrothermal procedure, carried out at 220°C for 12 hours, may be used to create iron-doped ZnO/SnS nanocomposites. The tunable energy bandgap characteristics of heterogeneous semiconducting materials and the effective charge carrier separation were thought to be the causes of the increased photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the heterostructure of charge carriers was proposed to facilitate photocatalytic activity when exposed to light. |
