Enlightening Au@ZnS Nanoparticles for Superior Visible-Light Photocatalysis of Methylene Blue Dye
Gold (Au)-doped ZnS nanoparticles with varying doping concentrations (2, 4, and 6 wt.%) were successfully synthesized via a chemical precipitation method and comprehensively characterized to investigate their structural, optical, morphological, and photocatalytic properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the face-centered Cubic phase crystalline structure of ZnS with peak shifts indicating successful Au incorporation without structural distortion. FTIR spectra revealed ZnS vibrational modes with minor shifts due to Au-doped ZnS interactions. UV–Vis spectroscopy exhibited red-shifted absorption and enhanced reflectance, while photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed increased emission intensity, suggesting reduced non-radiative recombination. HRSEM images displayed uniform morphology and nanoscale features with clear lattice fringes. XPS confirmed the elemental composition and oxidation states of Zn, S, and Au. The photocatalytic activity of the Au@ZnS nanoparticles, evaluated by methylene blue (MB) dye degradation under visible light, showed significant enhancement compared to pure ZnS. This improvement is attributed to superior light absorption, efficient charge carrier separation, and the catalytic role of Au, demonstrating strong potential for photocatalytic applications.
