Synthesis and Application of the Ternary Zn0.5Cd0.5S/ZnO/carbon Xerogel Composite in the Photocatalytic Degradation of 4-chlorophenol

Abstract The Zn0.5Cd0.5S/ZnO/carbon xerogel photocatalyst was synthesized through the thermal treatment of ZnO, CdS, and a low-cost carbon xerogel matrix at high temperature (600 ºC). ZnO is one of the most widely used photocatalysts, but it has low visible-light absorption, while Zn0.5Cd0.5S is a v...
