Abstract

In this study, we prepared a series of ZnS/graphitic-C3N4 nanocomposites in various mass percentages and morphological properties of all the nanocomposites were examined by utilizing SEM/EDX technique. The photocatalytic performances of ZnS/graphitic-C3N4 nanocomposites were evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B molecules under visible light. The photocatalytic performances of all nanocomposites under various photocatalyst dosages and initial Rhodamine B concentrations were further investigated for determination of optimal conditions.the obtained results indicated that ZnS/graphitic-C3N4 nanocomposites show almost 2 times higher photocatalaytic performances than pure graphitic-C3N4 and ZnS nanoparticles. The scavenger studies showed that the superoxide radicals had a major role in the photodegradation and the photodegradation of Rhodamine B follows the pseudo-first-order kinetic.
