A novel synthetic strategy was developed to fabricate Au-SnO2-CdS ternary nanoheterojunction catalyst for LED light derived photocatalytic degradation of imidacloprid. The synthesized ternary nanocomposite showed high degradation efficiency and a pseudo-first-order reaction rate. The effect of parameters like contact time, initial pollutant concentration, and pH on degradation efficiency was investigated, and comparative studies with pristine materials were conducted.
Herein, we have developed a novel synthetic strategy for the fabrication of Au-SnO2-CdS ternary nanoheterojunction catalyst and its utility towards LED light derived photocatalytic degradation of imidacloprid has been evaluated. The synthesized ternary nanocomposite was characterized using sophisticated analytical techniques to evaluate the catalyst's morphological, structural and surface chemical properties. The photo catalytic activity of the ternary catalyst towards the degradation of imidacloprid was evaluated under LED irradiation. Approximately 95% of the degradation efficiency was achieved with a pseudo-first-order reaction rate of 15.6 x 10(-3) min(-1). The degradation efficiency of Au-SnO2-CdS nano-catalyst was found to be similar to 1.2, 1.4 and 2.1 times to that of the pristine Au, CdS and SnO2 nanomaterials under similar experimental conditions. The effect of variation of parameters like contact time, initial pollutant concentration and pH on degradation efficiency has also been investigated. Moreover, the identification of various degradation products and reactive intermediates were made with high-performance liquid chromatography and electron spin resonance techniques.
