Microwave-assisted hydrothermal fabrication of CdMoO4 nanorods with high photocatalytic degradation performance for methyl orange

In this work, CdMoO4 nanorods (NRs) have been successfully synthesized via a facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, and further applied as an intriguing catalyst for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO). The effect of different surfactants upon their structure, morphology, UV–vis...

Summary:In this work, CdMoO4 nanorods (NRs) have been successfully synthesized via a facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, and further applied as an intriguing catalyst for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO). The effect of different surfactants upon their structure, morphology, UV–vis absorption and photocatalytic properties was also systematically investigated. The CdMoO4 NRs demonstrate the excellent photocatalytic degradation efficiency over MO under UV light irradiation. [Display omitted] •Facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was developed.•CdMoO4 nanorods for photocatalytic degradation of MO under UV.•MO was completely degraded under UV irradiation just for 80min.
