本研究以具有大量氨基功能基團的天然生物高分子殼聚糖為基體，再將納米ZnO分散到殼聚糖體系內得到n-ZnO/CS；通過螯合合作將Cd2+離子吸附在n-ZnO/CS，得到Cd2+@n-ZnO/CS；最后通過硫脲中溫釋放S2-與Cd2+@n-ZnO/CS反應得到CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系。以剛果紅（CR）為目標有機污染物，CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系在太陽光照射下對CR進行了光降解實驗。研究表明，污染物初始濃度為5.0 mg?L?1時，CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系能1min內去除95%CR染料；污染物初始濃度為100.0 mg?L?1時，CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系能30min內去除94.34%染料。與非凝膠狀態材料相比，CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系降解污染物速度更快、效果更好。實驗證實，CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系在自然太陽光照射下也能有效降解CR有機染料，這表明CdS@n-ZnO/CS凝膠體系有望在實際廢水處理中得到應用。

Colloidal CdS sensitized nano-ZnO/chitosan (CdS@n-ZnO/CS) hydrogel was prepared and characterized extensively by XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, UV–Vis DRS, FT-IR and TGA. The photocatalytic activity of CdS@n-ZnO/CS was evaluated with the photodegradation of congo red (CR) as an organic pollutant under solar light irradiation. The influences of initial dye concentration, catalyst dosage, recycling runs, and radical scavenger on decolorization of CR by CdS@n-ZnO/CS were investigated. 95% of CR was removed in just 1?min for 5.0?mg?L?1 and 94.34% of CR was removed in 30?min for 100?mg?L?1. CdS@n-ZnO/CS exhibited an excellent and ultra-fast performance toward CR removal under solar light due to the synergistic effect of adsorption by chitosan and photocatalysis by ZnO and CdS in CdS@n-ZnO/CS hydrogel. Radical trapping control experiments indicated that h+ and O2? played the major role for CR decolorization. The high performance of CdS@n-ZnO/CS hydrogel was also demonstrated under natural solar light irradiation, suggesting that CdS@n-ZnO/CS hydrogel could be used in practical wastewater treatment.
