Experimental and DFT study of photocatalytic activity of reduced graphene oxide/copper sulfide composite for removal of organic dyes from water.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In this work, successful nanocomposites composed of different ratios of reduced graphene oxide and copper sulphide (xCuS-rGO) were fabricated to aid in treating water contaminated with organic dyes. XRD, TEM, SEM, XPS, IR, EDX and BET were applied for the characterization of (CuS-rGO). The photocatalytic strength of the prepared nanocomposites was evaluated using artificial sunlight irradiation. The nanocomposites were tested for their ability to degrade both anionic and cationic organic dyes, including amaranth and rhodamine B (RhB). The excellent photocatalytic strength of our composites, relative to pristine CuS and rGO, was interpreted as rGO sheets being very porous. In addition, the charge moved efficiently from rGO to CuS. The combined properties enhanced the efficiency of photodegradation of CuS-rGO composite across the dyes under the illumination of simulated sunlight. The electron transportation from rGO sheets to the CuS conduction band enhances the charge separation and transportation. The role of superoxide radicals in photocatalytic degradation was unveiled and the interactions between the studied dyes and our catalysts were investigated by density functional theory study and scavenging investigation. This work gives new ideas about the preparation and properties of (CuS-rGO) composites and their broad application in solving environmental problems.
