Summary: A scalable and facile method for preparing visible light driven photocatalytic materials using cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorods and nanowires was developed. The nanowires exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to nanorods, likely due to their higher aspect ratio and larger active surface area for efficient separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs.
