Abstract

Abstract:

CdS/m-TiO₂ heteroarchitecture with CdS nanocrystals loaded on mesoporous TiO₂(m-TiO₂) spheres was successfully synthesized via sol-gel method followed by solvothermal treatment. The material with uniform diameter of ca. 750 nm possesses regular mesoporous structure and large specific surface area of 100.5 m²/g. When used to photodegradate Rhodamine B(RB) under visible light, the CdS/m-TiO₂ heteroarchitecture exhibits improved photocatalytic performance in comparison with pure m-TiO₂ or CdS. The excellent photocatalytic activity is closely related to the facilitated separation of electron-hole pairs derived from the CdS/m-TiO₂ heterojunction and mesoporous structure with high specific surface area and adequately exposed active sites.

Key words: Cadmium sulfide, Titanium dioxide, Heteroarchitecture, Mesoporous material, Photocatalysis, Visible light
