Effect of adding plasmonic Cu to CdS@SiO۲ to enhancing photocatalytic degradation ofRhB from water

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) such as Cadmium (Cd) and Copper (Cu) can strongly absorb visible light,therefore efforts have been made to the application of plasmonic metal NPs as direct photocatalyst in organicreactions. A core-shell SiO۲@CdS composite and LSPR Cu۲+ on its surfaces with effective photocatalytic activitywere successfully synthesized. The nanocomposite Characterized by FE-SEM, TEM, XRD and FT-IR. Photocatalyticactivity of this nanocomposite was determined by degradation Rhodamine B (RhB) in water.
