Abstract
A one-pot, template-free, solvothermal method for synthesizing CdS microspheres composed of ultrasmall (∼2 nm) nanocrystals without and with the use of MCE-capping agent has been developed. The photocatalytic activity of the microspheres for degradation of MO under UV and natural sunlight irradiation has been compared.
