Abstract

CdS nanoparticles were loaded on a highly porous polymer of poly-melamine–formaldehyde (PMF) by a simple co-precipitation approach. Benefiting from the high specific surface area of PMF of 943 m2 g−1, the obtained CdS/PMF composite can adsorb dye molecules efficiently, which favors the subsequent photocatalytic dye degradation process. Typically, 99% of Rhodamine B could be degraded over the optimized CdS/PMF sample after 3 h visible light irradiation. Moreover, the CdS/PMF sample displays reasonable stability during the recycle runs, indicating its potential application for organic pollutants removal by photocatalysis.
