Abstract

Abstract The Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) approach was used to fabricate Cd doped CuS nanocrystalline thin films. On the optical, structural, morphological, and electronic properties of Cd doped CuS films, the influence of a 3% Cd doping concentration was investigated. The cubic phase crystal structure of the Cd doped CuS thin was revealed by XRD measurements to be polycrystalline. The bonding of the CuS semiconductor material was verified by FTIR spectra, which also displayed the emission bands of the films. The surface morphology of the produced films changes with the concentration of Cd doping, according to the FESEM data. In the UV visible spectroscopy, a blue shift in the optical band gap was identified. Under the irradiation of sunshine, the photocatalytic activity of Rhodamine B was investigated. The degradation efficiency increased nearly 97% as Cd concentration increased.
