Abstract

CdS quantum dots deposited on carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) nanosheets have been synthesized by ultra-low temperature (−60 °C) liquid phase precipitation reactions. The obtained CdS quantum dots were uniformly distributed on the surface of the g-C₃N₄ nanosheets with an average diameter of 5 nm. Correspondingly, CdS/g-C₃N₄ exhibits a highly enhanced photocatalytic performance.
