## Abstract
Abstract The researches on methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) destructions were carried out using indium sulfide (In 2 S 3 ) photoanode in photoelectrocatalytic system. It consisted of In 2 S 3 thin film as an anode synthesized by chemical bath deposition (CBD) on FTO and platinum as a cathode. Characterization with EDX showed the presence of In 2 S 3 with a composition close to In 2 S 3 for 10 min deposition. The In 2 S 3 band gap measurement was obtained 2.49 eV. Photocurrent measurement revealed that In 2 S 3 had n -type semiconductor property. The application of In 2 S 3 thin film as photoanode in a photoelectrocatalytic cell for MB and MO treatments gave degradation’s yields ca. 71 and 55 %, respectively, under illumination with a 20 watt UV lamp, a bias voltage of 0.5 V for 150 min and with sample concentration of 25 mg/L.
