The fabrication of reusable and biodegradation materials from renewable resources such as cellulose is essential for a sustainable world. The core-shell structured CdS-decorated TiO₂/Carbon microspheres (CdS/TiO₂/Carbon MS) photocatalyst was synthesized with controlled hydrolysis and a novel sonoche...
