Cu 2 Sn 1− x Gd x S 3 thin films for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: . Adjusting the pH of the dye solution improved the performance, reaching 90.77% degradation efficiency at pH 10, compared to 41.25% and 61.94% at pH 4 and 7, respectively. Tests with scavengers EDTA-Na, IPA, and BQ resulted in degradation efficiencies of 61.78%, 78.24%, and 43.56%, respectively, highlighting that the highest efficiency (90.77%) occurred without scavengers. The results show promising potential for these films in treating pollutants in industrial and domestic wastewater systems.
