by XRD, SEM(EDAX), UV-Vis and IR techniques. The energy gap and size of the nanoparticles were calculated. Photocatalytic
degradation for Indigo Carmine dye and industrial effluents by nanoparticles were studied. Electrochemical degradation for Acridine
orange dye was studied by Pd/graphite modified electrode. The kinetics of photodegradation and electrochemical degradation was
studied. ZrS
2
/ZnS showed very good antibacterial and antimitotic activity. These results indicate that the synthesized nanocomposites
and modified electrodes would be promising materials for photocatalytic, electrochemical and biological applications.
