Abstract

We report an approach for preparation of CdS–graphene nanocomposite via a hydrothermal method. In this process, graphene oxide was reduced to graphene which assists in forming CdS nanoparticles. The adsorption kinetics data is in good agreement with pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the CdS–graphene reveals a high photodegradation rate under visible light irradiation.
