Abstract

Terbium-doped cadmium sulfide nanoparticles with different terbium contents were successfully synthesized via sonochemical route. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoelectron X-ray spectroscopy, and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy techniques. The as-prepared nanocatalyst were used for sonocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue. Among the different amounts of dopant, 8 % Tb-doped CdS showed the highest sonocatalytic activity. The order of inhibitory effect of radical scavengers was 1, 4 Benzoquinone > SO3 2− > CO2 3−> I−. The effects of various parameters such as initial dye concentration, catalyst loading, ultrasonic power, and the presence of radical scavengers were investigated.
