摘要： Different morphologies of CdSe and GO (graphene oxide)/CdSe microspheres like wool ball and walnut shape have been made through hydrothermal method using CTAB as surfactant. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectra, and UVevis absorption spectrum, were used to intensively investigate the structures, morphologies, chemical compositions and optical properties of CdSe and GO/CdSe microspheres. The results of XRD revealed that GO/CdSe microspheres have lead-zinc mineral structure. The results of XRD, EDS, XPS and Raman spectra showed that GO/CdSe microspheres were grown on GO sheets. Also UVevis absorption spectrum indicated that GO/CdSe microspheres enhanced absorbance in UV light region and visible light region. Through comparative experiments, the results showed that pH ? 4 is the optimal pH value for degrading Rhodamine B (RhB) solution. To study the photocatalytic performance of GO/CdSe microspheres, we catalyzed the degradation of RhB aqueous solution irradiated by visible light. The photocatalytic results showed that the wool ball-like GO/CdSe microspheres exhibited better photocatalytic activity than rough CdSe.
