Abstract

This article presents the results of an assessment of the use of CdSe, NiCdSe, and CoCdSe thin films as a basis for photocatalysts used for the decomposition of the organic dyes rhodamine B, cargo red, and indigo carmine. Interest in this area was determined by the need to solve a number of issues related to increasing the efficiency purifying aqueous media from the negative effects of organic dyes, which cannot be disposed of using traditional methods associated with adsorption or filtration. The use of the electrochemical synthesis method to obtain thin films of a given thickness showed that the addition of nickel or cobalt sulfates to the standard electrolyte solution used to obtain CdSe films results in the formation of CdSe films with a higher degree of structural ordering (the crystallinity degree was more than 50%), as well as a decline in the band gap. When analyzing data on the photocatalytic decomposition of organic dyes, it was found that a change in the structure of the films due to the introduction of nickel and cobalt leads, in the case of the decomposition of the rhodamine B dye, to a more efficient decomposition, and in the case of the cargo red and indigo carmine dyes, not only to their complete decomposition and mineralization, but also to a reduction in the time of photocatalytic reactions (decomposition growth rate). Moreover, an analysis of cyclic tests demonstrated that NiCdSe and CoCdSe films maintain 90% of their photocatalytic decomposition efficiency compared to that achieved during the first decomposition cycle, while CdSe degrades after three consecutive cycles and its efficiency reduces by more than 2.5–3 times.
