Synthesis and highly visible-induced photocatalytic activity of CNT-CdSe composite for methylene blue solution

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Carbon nanotube-cadmium selenide (CNT-CdSe) composite was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method derived from multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a stating material. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy...
