摘要
Graphene-CdS (G-CdS) composites were synthesized through a simple solvothermal method. The formed CdS nanospheres were homogeneously scattered on the surface of graphene sheets. Fluorescence quenching effect of the G-CdS composites indicated effective transfer of photo-excited electrons from CdS to graphene, suppressed the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, so that the enhanced visible light induced photodegradation activity for Rhodamine B (RhB) was achieved. Based on the high photocatalytic activity and well stability, the G-CdS composite containing 70% CdS can be expected to be a practical visible light photocatalyst. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
