/ZnS nanocomposites might benefit from its superparamagnetic, which nanocomposite could be rapidly separated from aqueous solution by an external magnetic field, and without agglomeration when magnetic field removed. Our work demonstrates a practical means for fabrication of superparamagnetic nanocomposite to improve the visible light photocatalytic activity and reusability of photocatalyst.
