Morphology-Controlled Synthesis of Zn<sub>x</sub>Cd<sub>1-x</sub>S Solid Solutions: An Efficient Solar Light Active Photocatalyst for the Degradation of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol
Abstract:Zn x Cd 1−x S solid solutions with controlled morphology have been successfully synthesized by a facile solution-phase method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activity of Zn x Cd 1−x S was evaluated in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) degradation and mineralization in aqueous solution under direct … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
