This paper introduces a novel application of bifunctional Pr-doped SnS 2 thin films,
demonstrating their efficacy in both photocatalytic degradation of dye and antibacterial
activities. The thin films were fabricated using an eco-friendly spray-coated method,
encompassing undoped and Pr-doped SnS 2 variations. The study comprehensively
examines the structural, morphological, chemical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial
characteristics of these films. The crystal structure of both undoped and Pr-doped SnS 2 thin …

This paper introduces a novel application of bifunctional Pr-doped SnS2 thin films for
photocatalytic degradation of dyes and antibacterial activities. Using an eco-friendly spray-
coated method, undoped and Pr-doped SnS2 thin films were fabricated, and their structural,
morphological, chemical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial characteristics were examined. X-
ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a crystalline hexagonal structure with (1 0 1) orientation and
an increase in crystallite size with higher Pr-doping levels. Additionally, a distinct peak of …
