Fabrication of Cr-ZnFe₂O₄/S-g-C₃N₄ Heterojunction Enriched Charge Separation for Sunlight Responsive Photocatalytic Performance and Antibacterial Study.

ABSTRACT: There has been a lot of interest in the manufacture of stable, high-efficiency photocatalysts. In this study, initially Cr doped ZnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) were made via surfactant-assisted hydrothermal technique. Then Cr-ZnFe₂O₄ NPs were modified by incorporating S-g-C₃N₄ to enhance their photocatalytic efficiency. The morphological, structural, and bonding aspects were analyzed by XRD, FTIR, and SEM techniques. The photocatalytic efficiency of the functional Cr-ZnFe₂O₄/S-g-C₃N₄ (ZFG) heterostructure photocatalysts was examined against MB under sunlight. The produced ZFG-50 composite has the best photocatalytic performance, which is 2.4 and 3.5 times better than that of ZnFe
