Abstract
Green chemical approaches for the production of nanomaterials are currently attracted to research and industry development to minimize the use of hazardous chemicals and reduce industrial pollution. A green reagent Ocimum sanctum leaf extract was used to synthesize doped and undoped CdS nanoparticles in this work. The as-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using different characterization techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM. The effect of doping on physicochemical properties was analyzed. Photocatalytic properties of these nanoparticles were investigated by sunlight-based photodegradation studies of methylene blue dye. The doping of these green synthesized CdS nanoparticles with heavy metals has improved photocatalytic efficiency over a given time.
