Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye in the Presence of Visible Light Using SiO?@?-Fe?O? Nanocomposites Deposited on SnS? Flowers.

ABSTRACT: Semiconductor materials have been shown to have good photocatalytic behavior and can be utilized for the photodegradation of organic pollutants. In this work, three-dimensional flower-like SnS? (tin sulfide) was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. Core-shell structured SiO?@α-Fe?O? nanocomposites were then deposited on the top of the SnS? flowers. The as-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV?Vis Spectroscopy, Brunauer?Emmett?Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic behavior of the SnS?-SiO?@α-Fe?O? nanocomposites was investigated by observing the degradation of methylene blue (MB). The results show an effective enhancement of photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB especially for the 15 wt % SiO?@α-Fe?O? nanocomposites on SnS? flowers.
