Environmental impacts, energy applications, photocatalysis on semiconductor-based hybrid materials has drawn a lot of interest recently. Having gap in between 1 and 2 eV, the Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMDSc) group can be good option for two-dimensional material. A straightforward microwave synthesis technique was used synthesizing CdS/MoS2/rGO ternary composite SEM images XRD analysis revealed presence nanocomposite particles. The crystal structure CdS MoS2 is hexagonal. In terms wavelength, greatest absorption peak 514 nm, its bandwidth 2.42 whereas band width 1.8 - 1.9 eV. size nm 500 nm. average present work photocatalytic activity sunset yellow dye checked by nanoparticles under visible light irradiation. determined various factors like effect catalyst which amount varies, different pH, variation conc. temp. As time interval rises 180 min from 10 min, dye's degradation efficiency enhances 33% to 95%.
