Development of Bi₂S₃/Cu₂S hetrojuction as an effective photocatalysts for the efficient degradation of antibiotic drug and organic dye.

ABSTRACT: Herein, a Bi₂S₃/Cu₂S was successfully synthesized via a simple one-step wet impregnation process. The compositional behavior and electrical and optical properties of photocatalysts were investigated in detail. Photocatalytic technology has shown great promise in wastewater treatment, splitting water to hydrogen, and converting CO₂ to fuel. Researchers or scientist are attempting to design sulfate-based heterojunction photocatalytic systems in order to develop novel photocatalysts with excellent performance. Photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye and tetracycline (TC) drug under visible light irradiation was used to assess the photocatalytic activity of as-prepared samples. As a result, 2:1% wt of Bi₂S₃/Cu₂S h
