Use of Pure and N, S-Codoped Bimetallic Cerium Cadmium Oxide Nanoparticles as Photocatalyst for the Photodegradation of Fast Green

Photocatalytic degradation of fast green using pure and N-S codoped bimetal nanoparticles CeCdO3 has been studied. The CeCdO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by wet precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The rate of photocatalytic reaction was examined spectrophotometrically using pure and N, S-codoped catalyst. The effect of variation in parameters like pH, concentration of dye, amount of nanoparticle, dopant percentage and light intensity on the photocatalytic degradation of dye was studied. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation has been suggested.
