In this research, we investigated the photocatalytic activity of CuInS2 nanoparticles in visible light during the decomposition of three toxic dyes (Eriochrome Black T, Rhodamine B, and Erythrosine). The CuInS2 nanostructures were synthesized by a rapid and simple sonochem. method using dithiooxamide as a sulfur reagent and various capping agents, including SDS, CTAB, and PVP, were applied to achieve a pure structure with fine morphol. The flower-like structure was observed through FESEM images, implying different capping agents and fabrication had a considerable influence on the morphol. of samples. The suitable bandgap of CuInS2 (1.53 eV) was obtained from DRS anal. and resulted in higher photodegradation efficiency. The fabricated CuInS2 revealed better photodegradation efficiency (74.8%) to the anionic dyes than cationic dye. A possible photodegradation mechanism was suggested based on scavenger tests of active species. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,2-Propanediol (cas: 57-55-6Synthetic Route of C3H8O2).
1,2-Propanediol (cas: 57-55-6) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are among the most common organic compounds. They are used as sweeteners and in making perfumes, are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of other compounds, and are among the most abundantly produced organic chemicals in industry. Alcohols may be oxidized to give ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. These functional groups are useful for further reactions. Oxidation of organic compounds generally increases the number of bonds from carbon to oxygen (or another electronegative element, such as a halogen), and it may decrease the number of bonds to hydrogen.Synthetic Route of C3H8O2
