What is it about?
A wide band gap CdCO3 semiconductor is prepared by rapid microwave heating and coupled with low band gap visible light active carbon nitride semiconductor. The developed composite is tested for disinfection of E.coli bacteria and mineralization of organic dyes.

Why is it important?
A first approach on use of a wide-band gap CdCO3 semiconductor to inhibit the rapid recombination of photo-excitons and excel the photoactivity.
Perspectives
We hope that this work may open new directions on exploring strong redox potentials of wide-band gap semiconductors with visible light active composite materials for large variety of solar and electrochemical applications.
