Abstract
Abstract Ternary copper tin sulfide Cu2SnS3 (CTS) has been effectively amalgamated by hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, surface morphology and optical properties of the primed sample have been studied. XRD pattern of synthesized CTS shows the triclinic crystal structure. The SEM images confirm the uniform spherical grain like structure. The photocatalytic activity of the as synthesized CTS was tested under visible light irradiation by measuring the degradation of methylene blue (MB). CTS show a broad absorption in the visible and the IR region. The optical bandgap of CTS nanoparticles (2.2 eV) has been determined. A more realistic mechanism for the photocatalytic activity of CTS is proposed.
