Under visible-light irradiation, a novel CuFe2O4/ZnS nanocatalyst was employed in a two-step method for removal of organic dyes. The XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, PL, and FESEM analysis were used to characterize the synthesized CuFe2O4/ZnS nanocomposites (NCs). The photocatalytic activity results expose better photodegradation performance by using the CuFe2O4/ZnS nanocatalysts. The degradation efficiency of MB and CV dyes were achieved at 82 and 87% within 120 min under visible-light illumination. As a result, CuFe2O4/ZnS NCs outperform CuFe2O4 and ZnS in photocatalytic performance owing to efficient photogenerated charge carriers via the development of p-CuFe2O4-n-ZnS heterojunction. The synthesized CuFe2O4/ZnS nanocatalyst can be successfully used for waste water treatment purification as a result of its photodegradation performance.
