What is Synthesis and application of CdS nanorods for LED-based photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline antibiotic about?
With the rapid development of pharmaceutical industrialization, increased consumption of drugs and discharged sewage contains antibiotics that lead to water contamination. For this purpose, removal of antibiotics from aquatic environment is emphasizing the need to produce clean water using easy separable catalysts through photocatalytic water remediation and thus the semiconductor photocatalysts have presently gained fascinating unprecedented research attention. Herein, we present the synthesis of semiconductor CdS nanorods by a facile hydrothermal procedure using ethylene diamine as a coordinating agent. Then, we subsequently studied the photocatalytic activity of CdS nanorods under blue and white LED light irradiation for the degradation of tetracycline antibiotic as a model compound. The light dependent photocatalytic activity of CdS nanorods demonstrated that CdS nanorods possess higher catalytic efficiency in presence of blue light compared to white light toward the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline antibiotic. We have also studied the photocatalytic activity in presence of various light intensity. These CdS nanorods exhibited the highest tetracycline degradation effi
