Fabrication of ZnS-Bi-TiO2 Composites and Investigation of Their Sunlight Photocatalytic Performance by Xuewei Dong, Fan Zhang, Chuan Rong, Hongchao Ma

“…As compared to pure TiO2, the ZnS-Bi-TiO2 exhibited enhanced photodegradation efficiency under xenon lamp irradiation, and the kinetic constant of methyl orange removal with ZnS-Bi-Ti-0.005 (0.0141 min−1) was 3.9 times greater than that of pure TiO2 (0.0029 min−1), which could be attributed to the existence of Bi4+/Bi3+ species, the ZnS/TiO2 heterostructure.…”
