▎ 摘　　要

We report a facile solvothermal synthesis of reduced graphene oxide/Zn0.8Cd0.2S (GZCS) hybrid nanomaterial as a photocatalyst, in which Zn0.8Cd0.2S nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO), showing a good visible light response. The photocatalytic activities for as-prepared GZCS were evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the GZCS had higher photocatalytic activity than pure Zn0.8Cd0.2S. The GZCS with 5 wt% RGO content exhibited the highest photodegradation efficiency of MB (96%), which was 2.7 times of pure Zn0.8Cd0.2S. And it also showed high photocatalytic stability.
