Popis: Large scale CdS nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile and effective route. The as-prepared CdS product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electronmicroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The CdS nanoparticles showed higher photocatalytic activity for the discoloration of methyl orange under UV light irradiation for 90 min. Significantly, the stability and recycling of the photocatalyst was also investigated. This study may provide a new insight into the design and prepared of visible-light photocatalytic materials.
