Abstract: CdS nanocrystallites prepared in reverse micellar systems were immobilized onto P25 particles which had been modified by 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane(MPTMS).The resulting P25-MPTMS-CdS particles were characterized by UV-Vis spectra and TEM.Their photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange dye was investigated.The results indicate P25-MPTMS-CdS photocatalysts have high photocatalytic activities both within UV and visible range.After 18 h of photoirradiation(λ>400 nm),the UV-Vis spectra show that CdS nanoparticles are well resist to photoirradiation,and have good photostability.
