Surfactant-free synthesis of homogeneous nano-grade cadmium sulfide grafted reduced graphene oxide composite as a high-activity photocatalyst in visible light

Zero-dimensional cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles with small size (?50?nm) were grafted on the two-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheet via a facile hydrothermal method without any surfactant to synthesize [email protected] nanocomposites in this paper. The structural analysis confirms the strong attachment and interaction between CdS and RGO in [email protected] photocatalyst, which leads to a higher photocatalytic efficiency (95.3%) with superior anti-corrosion stability (almost no change of efficiency over three repeated experiments) to that of pure CdS in visible light. The unique hybrid nanostructure of [email protected] can effectively prevent the self-corrosion of CdS and facilitate the separation of electron-hole pairs. Consequently, these outstanding photocatalytic performances of [email protected] endow it with a promising prospect for the degradation of organic pollutants and this work can be extended to other graphene-based inorganic semiconductor composites.
