In this study, we synthesized core-shell structured magnetic CdxZn1−xS@Fe3S4semiconductor catalysts. The CdxZn1−xS shell of the catalysts possesses a wider absorption optical domain and uses light energy more efficiently than CdS. The Fe atoms of the Fe3S4core dope into the CdxZn1−xS crystal lattice, which leads to a band gap decrease. Among all catalysts prepared, the Cd0.2Zn0.8S@Fe3S4nanocomposites bear low band gap properties and can efficiently photocatalyze the degradation of methylene blue under the irradiation of simulated sunlight. Under an external magnetic field, the CdxZn1−xS@Fe3S4catalysts can be recovered and reused several times without loss of catalytic activity.
