Abstract

Here we report improved photo-catalytic effect of Ag₂S under visible light using carbon nano-tubes (CNT) modified with Ag2S nanoparticles. The optical properties, structural properties and compositional analysis, as well as the photo-electrochemical properties of the prepared composites were investigated. It was found that the photocurrent density, and the photo-catalytic effect, was increased by modification of CNT in this way. Compared with the separate effects of Ag2S and CNT nanoparticles, the photocatalytic effect of CNT-modified-with-Ag2S composites, increased significantly due to a synergistic effect between the CNT and the Ag2S nanoparticles.
