Ahetero-junction two dimensional photocatalyst that consists of organic semiconductor carbon nitride (C3N4) and inorganic semiconductor CdS, which acts as the light harvesting units and heterogeneous catalyst, was developed for the degradation of azo dye methyl orange (MO). Both materials are visible light active semiconductor. So the effective band gap of this heterojunction materials does not significantly change the visible light activity, but the injection of electrons from excited C3N4 to CdS increases the stability of hole-electron pair and that ultimately enhances the photocatalytic activity. This heterojunction catalyst finally can remove 97% of dyes and that is comparatively higher than individual pure materials. Finally, by using DFT analysis the band structure and the level diagrams of this photocatalyst are also analyzed.
