Abstract
The solvothermal synthesis of CuCdS2 nanoparticles assisted via ethylene glycol is reported in present work. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the crystalline nature of the material with hexagonal phase. The FE-SEM micrographs revealed the average particle size of 37 nm for the synthesized material. UV–Visible absorption results showed that the nanoparticles possess a wide range of absorption up to mid-visible region and the optical band gap is 1.67 eV. The photocatalytic response of the synthesized material is recorded by employing the degradation process of Methylene Blue (MB). Interestingly, under solar irradiation, the synthesized material degrades 68.5 percent of MB.
