A facile preparation and visible light-induced photocatalysis of indium sulfide superstructure

摘要

beta-In2S3 superstructure comprised of nanoflakes with the sizes of 200-450 nm has been synthesized by a facile reflux method with the assistance of the sodium dodecylsulfate at low temperature (80 A degrees C). XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, and UV-vis spectra were used to characterize the In2S3 superstructure. Prepared In2S3 superstructures exhibited high photocatalytic activities in the degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation (lambda > 420 nm), in which 97.5% RhB was photodegraded after 60 min.
