CdS/ZnO composite nanoarchitectures were prepared by selectively decorating cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles on the highly active crystal planes of zinc oxide (ZnO). Different morphologies of CdS/ZnO nanoarchitectures were designed by regulating the shape of ZnO, which facilitated the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. The nanoparticle/flower-like architecture exhibited excellent degradation performance, with a degradation rate for rhodamine B 8.3 times higher than that of pure ZnO. This work provides insights into designing and synthesizing high-efficiency visible light photocatalysts for treating wastewater with organic pollutants.
The low utilization of visible light and high recombination of electron-hole pairs still limit the practical appli-cation of photocatalysts. Here, cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles were selectively decorated on the highly active crystal planes of zinc oxide (ZnO) to prepare CdS/ZnO composite nanoarchitectures. We designed the CdS/ ZnO nanoarchitectures with different morphologies by elaborately regulating the shape of ZnO (hexagram-like architectures, rod-like architectures, and flower-like architectures assembled by nanosheets), which effectively benefit the separation of its photogenerated electrons and holes. The nanoparticle/flower-like architecture sample exhibits excellent degradation performance, and the degradation rate for rhodamine B is 8.3 times higher compared to the pure ZnO. The excellent photocatalytic performance of the sample is benefited from the con-struction of the composite material, and the synergistic effect of nanosheets, flower-like morphology, and oxygen vacancies. This work may shed light on designing and synthesizing high-efficiency visible light photocatalysts to treat wastewater containing organic pollutants.
