Solvothermal synthesis of Bi2S3 nanoparticles for active photocatalytic and energy storage device applications

High edge energy storage with large life-span stable materials have become the most significant and major requirement in near future. Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles (NPs) was effectively synthesized by utilizing bismuth diethyldithiocarbamate (Bi[DTC]3) complex as single-source antecedent. The Bi2S3 NPs were affirmed structural, morphological thermal analysis various analytical studies. electrochemical performance of reveals that, exhibit redox behavior from cyclic voltammetry analysis, charge–discharge examined galvanostatic chronopotentiometry. excellent supercapacitor value specific capacitance 470 Fg?1 at current density 0.5 Ag?1 retentivity 79% after 1000 cycles. further utilized photocatalytic discoloration Congo Red (CR) dye aqueous medium under UV light irradiation. Which shows, catalytic behaviour, up to 98% CR degrade within 150 min it is good stability reusability.
