Abstract

The characterizations of synthesized CdZnS nanoparticles with Clitoria ternatea (Asian pigeon wings) leaf extract were done by the chemical precipitation method. The formation of CdZnS nanoparticles with the extract was confirmed by making use of XRD, SEM analysis and EDAX. XRD disclosed the structure and also the particle size. SEM investigation of CdZnS NPs confirmed shape and size. The optical studies were executed for the prepared sample. From the obtained UV-visible spectrum, band gap energy was determined using the Tauc plot. The photocatalytic activity of the processed sample was also analysed.
