In this study, sulfur-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles and graphene oxide were synthesized and mixed to form composites. The 8% composite showed superior photocatalytic efficiency, degrading 100% of methylene blue in 110 minutes under sunlight irradiation. The composites were characterized using various techniques and were found to be highly stable with continuous dye degradation throughout six catalytic cycles.
Environmental pollutants such as organic dyes are major focal areas of the current era. For this reason, excellent photocatalytic substances are needed time to degrade such water bodies and get pollution-free water. In this study, Sulphur doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were fabricated utilizing a solution-free technique, while graphene oxide was synthesized using a modified hummer's method. Sulphur-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were mixed with graphene oxide in five distinct weight percentages to achieve the S-ZnO/GO (SZO) composites. The 8 % SZO NC demonstrated superior photocatalytic efficiency, degrading 100 % of MB in 110 minutes under sunlight irradiation. The synthesized composites were characterized by the techniques viz. TEM, SEM, EDXS, FTIR, XPS, and UV spectrophotometry to determine their chemical nature and morphological features. Methylene blue was used as a reference pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the composites. According to the radical scavenger's test observations, (OH)-O-center dot and O-center dot(2-) were the primary species responsible for MB decomposition. Furthermore, the nanocomposites were found highly stable, with a continuously high degree of dye degradation throughout six catalytic cycles. As a result, the SZO nanocomposites have the prospective to be an extremely effective and versatile photocatalyst for the photodegradation of organic wastes.
