A general method for the synthesis of graphene-metal sulphide nanosheets

Abstract

One general method was developed for the synthesis of graphene-metal sulphide nanoplates. This method was utilized for the syntheses of graphene-CdS nanoplates (G-CdS nanoplates), graphene-CuS nanoplates (G-CuS nanoplates), and graphene-SnS nanoplates (G-SnS nanoplates). As a concept proof, the G-CdS nanoplates were selected as the model to evaluate the photocatalytic activity, whereas a significant enhancement in the photoactivity was observed. This method demonstrated a general approach towards the fabrication of graphene-metal sulphide nanoplates as promising for the photocatalytic fields.
