Fabrication of indium sulfide/graphene oxide photodegradation of rhodamine B-containing wastewater under visible light irradiation

The fabrication of indium sulfide/graphene oxide composites (In2S3@GO) via a novel hydrothermal method was reported. The morphology of the composites showed that the daisy-like In2S3 structures were dispersed evenly on GO with large specific surface area. The photocatalytic performance of In2S3@GO was evaluated through photodegradation Rhodamine B. In2S3@GO exhibits higher photodegradation performance than that of pure In2S3. In addition, the composites showed great adsorption-desorption ability and stability. The solution pH value also has a significant influence on photocatalytic activity of In2S3@GO. This work may provide new insights to construct carbon-based semiconductor photocatalyst for organic dye pollution degradation.
