Enhancement of visible-light-driven photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) with flower-like In3+-doped SnS2

Facile fabrication of ZnIn2S4/SnS2 3D heterostructure for efficient visible-light photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

“…In order to improve the usability of the solar energy, development of visible-light-responsive photocatalysts is essential [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Metal sulfide semiconductors, which are a superior type of visible-light-driven photocatalysts, are efficient in absorbing visible light [24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

Enhanced Photoresponse of Indium-Doped Tin Disulfide Nanosheets

“…However, few reports have been made about doped SnS 2 -based photodetectors, and further studies about the photoelectronic properties of doped SnS 2 are highly needed. The chemical and physical characteristics, for example, the photocatalytic and ferromagnetic characteristics, can be significantly modified by doping with group III elements (Al, Ga, and In). − It is worthwhile to study the ability of In as a dopant and investigate the effect of In doping on the photoelectronic properties of SnS 2 -based photodetectors.…”

Preparation of worm-like SnS2 nanoparticles and their photocatalytic activity

“…And they found that approximate 99% Cr (VI) can be reduced over the above-mentioned SnS 2 nanosheets within 100 min under irradiation [20]. Besides, various SnS 2 -based photocatalysts which possess high photocatalytic activity for the remove of Cr (VI) have been also reported, including CNT@MoS 2 /SnS 2 nanotubes [21], flower-like In 3þ -doped SnS 2 [22], core-shell structured WO 3 @SnS 2 heterojunction [23], SnS 2 nanotubes [24], Zn doped SnS 2 nanostructure [25], SnS 2 quantum dots/reduced graphene oxide composites [26], and SnS 2 modified with N-doped carbon quantum dots [27]. These reported results indicate that the SnS 2 -based photocatalysts should be a promising candidate which might be applied at large scale in the elimination of Cr (VI).…”
