Construction of a direct Z-scheme ZnS quantum dot (QD)-Fe2O3 QD heterojunction/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite with enhanced photocatalytic activity
Abstract
The GZxFy nanocomposites photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The photocatalytic properties of the samples were investigated under UV and visible light irradiations. The direct Z-scheme transfer of electron-hole pairs was confirmed in GZxFy nanocomposites. An easy magnetically separable and recoverable process was achieved.
