Abstract:Pristine Al2O3 and CdO are known to possess poor photocatalytic activity individually. The formation of CdO/Al2O3 heterojunction was investigated for the enhancement of photocatalytic performance. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to determine the crystalline feature and elemental composition of the NCs respectively. Peaks ascribed to Cd-O and O-Al-O was noted in fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTI… Show more
