Abstract

In this paper, CdS nanorings synthesized by a facile hydrazine-induced microwave method for the photodegradation of pollutants were reported for the first time. Different reaction method, microwave power, the category and dosage of pH regulating reagent, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. The formation of CdS nanorings from the self-assembly of nanoparticles was attributed to the coordination of hydrazine producing the dipole–dipole interaction among the uniform nanoparticles prepared by microwave method. The crystal phase, composition, morphology and surface property of CdS nanorings were characterized. The results showed that 100 nm-sized wurtzite CdS nanorings generated with the self-assembly of 5–8 nm nanoparticles, which presented mesoporous structures. To study the influence of ring-like structures on the photocatalysis, the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) with CdS nanorings and nanoparticles was compared. The results showed that, CdS nanorings displayed higher photodegradation efficiency, which were originated from more favorable band edge potential and effective electron–hole separation producing more superoxide radical and holes as active specifies. The photodegradation path of RhB contained the process of the demethylation, the decarboxylation process, the chromophore cleavage and ring-open reactions. Finally, the available photodegradation of multiple pollutants and reusability of CdS nanorings were carried out.
