Magnetically separable ZnS photocatalysts
Core-shell particles are increasingly relevant in industry due to their various applications and controllability in many factors down to nano-scale like surface morphology and nano-architecture. The synthesis of a ZnS shell/SiO2 core nanoparticle with magnetic functionality is described in this repo...
