Abstract:The ternary chalcogenide ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) has been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method in which the carcinogen thiacetamide, universally used as a precursor, has been, for the first time, replaced successfully with the harmless thiourea. ZIS has been used as photocatalyst for the partial oxidation of different aromatic alcohols to their corresponding aldehyde in water solution, under ambient conditions and simulated solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of ZnIn2S4 was better than TiO2 P2… Show more
