Abstract :
Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 implanted and CdS coupled ZnO (Fe3O4/ZnO-CdS) microrods were synthesised by a two-step hydrothermal method. Fe3O4/ZnO-CdS is superparamagnetic and is activated by visible light for solar photocatalysis. It is magnetically recoverable and reusable and exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity under natural sunlight.
