In present work TiO2/In2S3/Cu and TiO2/In2S3/Ag nanocomposites were prepared as a highly efficient photocatalyst. In this design, TiO2/In2S3/Ag and TiO2/In2S3/Cu composites enjoy both co-sensitizer and plasmonic effects. TiO2/In2S3/Cu nanocomposites and TiO2/In2S3/Ag nanocomposites were applied to purify wastewater containing Rhodamine B, Methyl orange, Acid Black 1, and Acid Brown 214. TiO2/In2S3/Cu nanocomposites and TiO2/In2S3/Ag nanocomposites show significant improvement in degradation efficiency compared to the bare TiO2. As-prepared TiO2/In2S3/Cu and TiO2/In2S3/Ag nanocomposites were characterized by different methods such as XRD, EDX, and SEM.
