Abstract:

Photocatalytic degradation of fast green using pure and N-Scodopedbimetal nanoparticles CeCdO₃has been studied. The CeCdO₃nanoparticles were synthesized by wet precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The rate of photocatalytic reaction was examinedspectrophotometrically using pure and N, S-codoped catalyst. The effect of variation in parameters like pH, concentration of dye, amount of nanoparticle, dopant percentage and light intensity on the photocatalytic degradation of dye was studied. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation has been suggested.
