Intriguing physicochemical properties and impact of co-dopants on N-doped graphene oxide based ZnS nanowires for photocatalytic application.

ABSTRACT: Superparamagnetic N-doped graphene oxide (GO)- with ZnS nanowires was synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method by doping dilute amounts of Ga, Cr, In, and Al ions for water treatment and biomedical applications. In these experiments, to enhance their properties, 2% of Ga³⁺, In³⁺, and or Al³⁺ were codoped along with 2% Cr ions in these ZnS nanowires. The nanocomposite with the composition, In_0.02Cr_0.02Zn_0.96S, has better photocatalytic efficiency than other co-doped nanocomposites. The In (metalloids) and Cr (transition metal ion) are the best combinations to increase the magnetic properties which are beneficial for photocatalytic activity. Synthesized nanocomposite materials were characterized by several techniques such
