Abstract
CuxZn1-xS nanodisks with varying Cu/Zn molar ratio were synthesized for the photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The CuxZn1-xS nanodisks were formed through the self-assembly of ZnS and CuS nanoparticles assisted with surfactant in hydrothermal system. The optimum photodegradation efficiency over Cu0.33Zn0.67S with the Cu/Zn molar ratio of 1:2 was higher than that of ZnS and CuS for the H2O2-assisted photodegradation of RhB under visible light irradiation. The stability of Cu0.33Zn0.67S was slightly deactivated after five cycle times. The ESR results suggested that abundant O2â radicals and less OH radicals participated in the visible light driven photocatalytic reaction of Cu0.33Zn0.67S.
