To address chromium pollution in water resources, a novel photocatalytic adsorbent, CdS quantum dots/nano-TiO2 incorporated wood (QNIW), was synthesized for efficient removal of Cr(VI), which displayed both long-term stability and easy separability. We extensively analyzed QNIW using a range of analytical techniques to investigate its morphology, structure, optical characteristics, as well as adsorption and photocatalytic properties. The adsorption experiments revealed QNIW's remarkable capacity for Cr(VI) adsorption in the absence of light, reaching a maximum value of 482.1 mg/g calculated us...
