Multifunctional Ag-doped CuS surface nanostructures for simultaneous dye degradation and bacterial inactivation via visible-light activation

NTNissren TamamKAKashif AliSSSalma Saddeek

Key Points

  • This work aims to develop and evaluate Ag-doped CuS photocatalysts for enhanced dye degradation and bacterial inactivation under visible light.
  • Developed Ag-doped CuS nanostructures with controlled morphology.
  • Engineered band gap for visible light activation.
  • Assessed environmental cleanup efficacy through degradation and bacterial inactivation tests.
  • Ag-doped CuS nanostructures demonstrate significantly improved dye degradation rates compared to undoped counterparts.
  • Bacterial inactivation showed over 90% efficacy under visible light exposure, indicating effective antimicrobial properties.

Abstract

This work reports a new dual-strategy approach for the preparation of nanostructured Ag-doped CuS (Cu 1− x Ag x S, x = 0.03) photocatalysts designed by the synergy of morphology control and band gap engineering for enhanced environmental cleanup.
