Facile synthesis of heterogeneous CdO-NiO nanocomposite with efficient photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation

A NiO/CdO nanocomposites was fabricated using precipitation deposition method. The as-prepared photocatalyst was generally characterized by various spectral techniques like XRD, SEM, EDAX, UV-DRS, FT-IR, TEM and BET spectral techniques. The synthesized nanocomposite of CdO/NiO were used in the remov...
