Abstract
Over the past few decades, environmental contamination from the wastewater industry has gravely threatened the environment and public health. According to reports, thousands of different dyes and pigments are used in a range of industries around the world each year, producing more than 7 × 105 tonnes of synthetic dyes. Environmental contamination can be prevented by using semiconductor metal sulfide nanostructures (MSNSs) with doping and heterojunction as photocatalysts for the long-term, economical removal of hazardous organic dyes. The current review focuses on the degradability of hazardous dyes in the environment by metal sulfide nanoparticles such as ZnS, CdS, CuS, Ag2S, CoS, and FeS.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
