Herein, flower-like Zn3In2S6 (ZIS3) crystallites were grown onto acorn leaf-like CdS assemblies via a two-step hydrothermal approach. Under visible light irradiation, the Zn3In2S6-enriched heterostructures demonstrated an enhanced azo-dye degradation rate, with majority of organic analyte (Orange G) being degraded within 60 min. In contrast, CdS-enriched hybrids showed poor photocatalytic performance. The optimized hybrid containing nominal content 4 wt% was characterized by various physicochemical techniques, such as XRD, SEM, XPS and Raman. analysis that electron density around Zn sites in slightly increased, implying certain charge migration pattern. Complementary information from scavenging experiments suggested hydroxy radicals not exclusive transient responsible for oxidative azo-dye. This research provides new about development metal chalcogenide-based efficient pollutant degradation.
