Abstract

The surface anchoring of CdS on the surface of Ag₃PO₄ nanoparticle is achieved by an electrostatically-derived assembly between negatively-charged Ag₃PO₄ nanoparticles and positively-charged CdS quantum dots (QDs). The composite formation between Ag₃PO₄ and CdS nanoparticles gives rise not only to an enhancement of visible light absorption but also to a notable depression of photoluminescence signal, confirming the strong electronic coupling between the two components. The present CdS@Ag₃PO₄ nanocomposite displays higher visible light photocatalytic activity than do the precursors Ag₃PO₄ and CdS, demonstrating the usefulness of electrostatically-derived assembly in exploring highly efficient photocatalyst material.
