One-pot hydrothermal synthesis of CdS decorated CuS microflower-like structures for enhanced photocatalytic properties
Abstract CdS decorated CuS structures have been controllably synthesized through a one-pot hydrothermal method. The morphologies and compositions of the as-prepared samples could be concurrently well controlled by simply tuning the amount of CdCl2 and thiourea. Using this strategy, the morphology of...
