Construction of Three‐Dimensional In‐Zn‐Cd‐S Composite Materials and Their Visible‐Light Catalytic Performance

Abstract

In this paper, a simple template‐free one‐step hydrothermal method was used to construct three‐dimensional In−Zn−Cd−S composite materials. By changing the ratio of In3+/(Zn2++Cd2+) and controlling the band gap of semiconductor, a novel efficient and stable photocatalyst was designed. In−Zn−Cd−S composite showed good adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity. When In3+/(Zn2++Cd2+) was equal to 1/5, the photocatalytic activity of the composite was the highest. The degradation rate of RhB could reach 92.6 % within 5 min, and 97.6 % after 15 min. The results of cyclic experiments show that the IZCS‐4 catalyst has good cyclic performance and structural stability. According to the free radical capture experiment, the main effect of IZCS‐4 on the photodegradation of organic pollutants is H+ and ⋅O2−. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the alloy semiconductor material is mainly because it can effectively separate the photogenerated carriers and successfully inhibit the photocorrosion of In2S3 monomer.

Water-Soluble Ag–Sn–S Nanocrystals Partially Coated with ZnS Shells for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes

“…The UV–visible absorption spectra of ATS NCs degraded MO prepared with different excess degrees of sulfur sources are shown in Figure S11. It is worth noting that the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation of dyes per unit mass of ATS NCs is much higher than most reported in the literature. − ,− …”

“…[29] Gong et al used a simple template-free one-step hydrothermal method to construct threedimensional InÀ ZnÀ CdÀ S composites. [30] Therefore, we proposed and developed a simple method to coat ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of TEMs using charge gravitational method to prepare composites with superior thermal insulation properties, especially when used outdoors. Specifically, the TEMs were first etched using an etching agent and then coated with ZnO on their surfaces, and the resulting ZnO/TEMs can effectively block infrared and ultraviolet radiation from the sun.…”
