Hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical CuS/ZnS nanocomposites and their photocatalytic and microwave absorption properties

Abstract

ZnS/CuS nanocomposites with novel 3D hierarchical structures have been successfully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method. Their enhanced microwave absorption properties and photocatalytic performance were investigated in detail.

Synthesis of a visible-light active V2O5–g-C3N4 heterojunction as an efficient photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical material

“…The transient photocurrent response is 10 recorded for light on-off cycles under visible light irradiation and the results are shown in Fig. 10(a).…”

Synthesis and characterization of a CuS–WO3 composite photocatalyst for enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

“…Therefore, it is necessary to develop highly effective, visible light active catalytic materials to solve most of the critical problems related to energy and environment. Over the past few decades, numerous active semiconductor photocatalysts such as metal oxides, 4,5 sulfides, 6,7 oxynitrides 8 and graphitic carbon nitride 9 have been synthesized and utilized for the treatment of organic pollutants in aqueous environment. Among these materials, tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) is a well-known and an important semiconductor photocatalyst because of its wider response in the electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation, mechanical strength and good metal support interactions.…”

Hydrothermal synthesis, influencing factors and excellent photocatalytic performance of novel nanoparticle-assembled Bi25FeO40tetrahedrons

“…Therefore, the controlled construction of hierarchical microstructures self-assembled by building blocks is particularly significant. [10][11][12][13][14][15] For some materials with complex composition such as ternary metal oxides, they still need to be explored. 9 Unfortunately, most of these heart-stirring successes are only confined to some materials with simple chemical composition including metals, metal chalcogenides and binary metallic oxides.…”
