Highly efficient CdS/S-g-C3N4 direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst for degradation of methyl orange

Key Points

• Degradation rates significantly improve when using the CdS/S-g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalyst with remarkable efficiency.
• Up to 98% methyl orange degradation is achieved under visible light within a short time frame of 120 minutes.
• The direct z-scheme for charge separation enhances the photocatalytic performance in the degradation reaction.
• This approach supports the potential reduction of dyes in wastewater, promoting cleaner industrial practices.
