摘要

This study aims to enhance photocatalytic performance of tin sulfide thin films through different doping concentrations. To validate this hypothesis, iron (Fe) was added into Sn₂S₃ and the influence of different doping levels on photocatalytic performance was examined. Furthermore, the impact of Fe doping on the structural, optical, and surface morphological characteristics of Sn₂S₃ was examined, and the findings correlated with the observed enhancement in photocatalytic activity. The concentration of Fe was kept at 0, 1, 2 and 3 wt%. Among these Fe doping levels, 2 wt% exhibits superior photocatalytic activity when compared to other samples and exhibits substantial degradation efficacy against MV and MO within 60 min, with 97% and 93%, respectively. The effects of dye adsorption, point of zero charge, and dye solution pH on the catalytic activity of superior catalyst films were investigated and compared to their counterparts.
