Abstract

CdS and PbS nanoparticles sensitized ZnO nanorods were synthesized by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. The photocatalytic activity of different structures was evaluated by photocatalytic degeneration yield of methyl orange. Co-sensitization of CdS and PbS nanoparticles on ZnO nanorods showed enhanced photocatalytic activity due to its response at visible light area and the stepwise band gap constructed in ZnO/CdS/PbS nanostructures.

► ZnO/CdS/PbS as semiconductor photocatalysts. ► ZnO/CdS/PbS via successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. ► High photocatalytic activity due to the stepwise structure.
