Enhanced visible light-driven photocatalytic activity of reduced graphene oxide/cadmium sulfide composite: Methylparaben degradation mechanism and toxicity.

Reduced graphene oxide/cadmium sulfide (RGOCdS) nanocomposite synthesized through solvothermal process was used for methylparaben (MeP) degradation. The crystallinity of the nanocomposite was ascertained through X-ray diffraction. High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) results proved the absence of any free particle beyond the catalyst surface ensuring the composite nature of the prepared material.
