Abstract EN
C/ZnO/CdS nanocomposite was synthesized using the microemulsion method.
Nanocomposite synthesized in the present work was characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) transmission electron microscope (TEM), diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.
TEM study shows that CdS nanoparticles are successfully anchored on the surface of C doped ZnO nanorods.
UV–visible spectrum of C/ZnO/CdS nanocomposite shows a red shift.
CdS nanoparticles work as photo sensitizers to expand the photo-response of C doped ZnO to the visible region.
Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy reveals evidence for interaction between C/ZnO and CdS.
PL quenching observed for C/ZnO/CdS nanocomposite is attributed to improved charge separation properties, which increases its photocatalytic efficiency.
C/ZnO/CdS nanocomposite exhibits exceptionally high photocatalytic activity for degradation of 4-chlorophenol (CP) via Z-scheme mechanism.
C/ZnO/CdS nanocomposite is a highly stable and reusable photocatalyst.
