The Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) approach was used to fabricate Cd doped CuS nanocrystalline thin films. On the optical, structural, morphological, and electronic properties of Cd doped CuS films, the influence of a 3% Cd doping concentration was investigated. The cubic phase crystal structure of the Cd doped CuS thin was revealed by XRD measurements to be polycrystalline. The bonding of the CuS semiconductor material was verified by FTIR spectra, which also displayed the emission bands of the films. The surface morphology of the produced films changes with the concentration of Cd doping, according to the FESEM data. In the UV visible spectroscopy, a blue shift in the optical band gap was identified. Under the irradiation of sunshine, the photocatalytic activity of Rhodamine B was investigated. The degradation efficiency increased nearly 97% as Cd concentration increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
