Ni2+-doped photocatalysts Ni(y)-ZnxCd1−xS (where 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.80, 0% ≤ y ≤ 8%) were prepared by a two-step route, which consisted of a first precipitation of single-source precursors and a subsequent solvothermal treatment of the precursors in ethylenediamine. Structural, morphological and optical prop...
