The research focused on the creation and use of bi-metal sulfide thin film Nd2S3:Ni9S8. The study demonstrated the remarkable supercapacitive capability and high degradation efficiency of the thin film in environmental remediation applications.
The research was done on the creation and use of bi-metal sulfide thin film, Nd2S3:Ni9S8. 41 nm-sized crystallites with 80% crystallinity were found in the material. The evaluated optical characteristics showed a 2.9 eV band gap energy. The presence of Nd3d, S2p, and Ni2p in the created material was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Voltammetry tests were carried out to assess the electrochemical characteristics. With a value of 750 Fg(-1), the findings obtained showed remarkable supercapacitive capability. Additionally, a thorough examination was done to learn more about the material's potential as a photocatalyst. Malachite green dye, fuberidazole, and phenol were used as environmental contaminants to test the thin films' photocatalytic degradation effectiveness. The highest degradation was found for fuberidazole with a rate constant of 2.46x10(-2) min(-1). The results demonstrated the versatility of thin films and their efficacy in degrading these pollutants, highlighting their potential for environmental remediation applications.
