In the present study, visible light active CuS/CdS nanocomposites of various compositions (1%, 2% and 3%) were synthesized via wet impregnation method and these photocatalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the synthesized photocatalysts was evaluated from the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under the visible light irradiation. Among all compositions, a 1% CuS/CdS nanocomposite showed about 89.5% degradation in 90 min than the pure CuS, CdS and other composites. Photoluminescence and photoelectrochemical measurements indicated that the 1% CuS/CdS nanocomposite greatly enhanced the charge generation and restrained the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. A possible mechanism of photocatalytic degradation has been proposed.

This article illustrates important substrate–catalyst interaction studies using Reactive dyes and various modified TiO2powders under visible light irradiation and demonstrates the need for developing new catalysts for the degradation of dyes having different structural features present in textile effluents.
