Abstract

), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and Mott-Schottky analysis, were utilized to further validate the high capacity for charge transfer and the reduction of electron-hole recombination. Under visible light irradiation, the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) dye was employed to assess the photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples. Among all samples, 10 MCM@BS/CdS exhibited the highest visible light degradation performance of 99.3%.
