The Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped flower−like tetragonal In2S3 photocatalysts were synthesized through a hydrothermal route, and the crystal phases, morphologies, chemical compositions and optical properties were characterized. The results shown that the doping with Yb3+/Tm3+ did not significantly change the cr...
