Surface texture dependency of photocatalytic behavior of facile synthesized mesoporous ZnS-ZnO heterostructure under LED illumination.

ABSTRACT: Employing three porous semiconductor particles, the impact of the surface area on dynamic photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue has been investigated under an LED light source. At first, porous ZnS with a relatively high surface area was synthesized via an innovative method in ethanol, which is insoluble for Sulphur precursor (Na₂S). This semiconductor was used for the synthesis of porous ZnO and ZnS-ZnO nanocomposites through a simple oxidation treatment in the air atmosphere. The characterization of the synthesized compounds was conducted through different techniques including X-ray diffraction, physisorption of nitrogen, simultaneous thermal analysis, field emission scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, FT-IR spe
