Abstract
The success of Photocatalysis for environmental applications strongly relies upon the availability of suitable energy spectrum as well as absorption of photon energy by the photocatalyst to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are deemed necessary for dye removal. Present work report the solvothermally synthesized Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS) marigold flower shaped nanostructures which demonstrates significant degradation efficiency against rhodamine B (RhB) dye. The formation of single-phase tetragonal stannite structure of CFTS nanoparticles with lattice constant values a = b = 5.48 Å and c = 10.61 Å was confirmed by XRD analysis. FESEM studies reveals the formation of self-assembled thin sheets of nanoflakes with uniform average thickness 25-30 nm and fringe spacing between adjacent lattice for 〈204〉 atomic plane is found to be 0.19 nm calculated by HR-TEM. The excellent RhB degradation efficiency of 92.1% under visible light within 05 minutes was achieved under synergetic effect of stirring and synthesized CFTS material.
