Synthesis of Te@CoS/S-g-C3N4 for Efficient Removal of Organic Pollutants under Sunlight
(UMT, Lahore, 2024) SANA ASGHAR
Industrial effluents from industries are causing notable water pollution. The polluted water bodies affect broader diversity in aquatic ecosystems. It is crucial to manage outfall pollutants such as dyes, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals in order to tackle this hazard. In this consideration, different photocatalysts that degrade waste materials from the petrochemical industries have been effectively responsible for the environmental degradation of a number of organic pollutants. The CoS NPs, Te@CoS NPs, and Te@CoS/SGCN NCs catalysts was synthesized using co-precipitation techniques before they could be employed in the degradation of methylene blue (MB), an organic dye. The photocatalytic results were shown as; cobalt sulfide degrading the MB upto 70%, tellurium doped NP’s gave the degradation results upto 86%, and SGCN doped composites extended this degradation upto 97%. The increase in % degradation is due to the electron recombination in the conduction and valence bands. The modification of cobalt sulfide with tellurium and SGCN structure proved to be a fruitful approach which resulted in excellent performance
