Abstract

A new composite phocatalyst Mn_1-xCd_xS (x = 0.18) has been introduced, which can efficiently degrade methylene blue even under ordinary visible light. The order of reactivity, irrelevant to the nature of light, followed the order of Mn_1-xCd_xS (x = 0.18) > TiO₂ > ZnO > CdS at neutral pH. The lower band gap energy (2.1 eV) of the catalyst Mn_1-xCd_xS (x = 0.18) was identified as the reason of the higher reactivity.
