ABSTRACT

The Z-scheme mechanism is a green approach for the photocatalytic degradation of Rose Bengal. This Z-scheme consists of ZnO-MoS2 semiconductors coupled to form a Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst, which well separates hole and electron, possesses a strong ability of oxidation and reduction, and improves the degradation of Rose Bengal under visible light. In the scavenger study, it was observed that the hydroxyl radical was responsible for the degradation of Rose Bengal. They observed that degradation efficiency for Rose Bengal was 90.55% in the presence of sunlight irradiation for 210 min., and this reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically at 540 nm.

Keywords: ZnO-MoS2, Rose Bengal, degradation.
