Visible light photocatalytic degradation of RhB by polymer-CdS nanocomposites: role of the host functional groups.
Surface groups of the host polystyrene beads play an important role in the properties of the polymer-based nano-CdS composites in terms of the distribution, dispersion, crystal structure, pH-dependent stability of nano-CdS, and thereafter affect their photocatalytic activity. Surface modification of the host materials can be taken as an effective and general approach to mediate the structure and properties of the nanocomposite materials.
