CdIn2S4 Nanotubes and “Marigold” Nanostructures: A Visible-Light Photocatalyst

Review of one-dimensional and two-dimensional nanostructured materials for hydrogen generation

“…NiO hollow microspheres showed greater catalytic activity than rods 6 A special class of 2D NSs self-assembled into a 3D architecture is another important research area in photocatalysis. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Layered titanates have been introduced for H 2 production as a result of their proton-exchange capability in the absence of co-catalysts. 223 …”

“…5 Among the renewable power sources, the photocatalytic splitting of water offers a promising method for the clean, low cost and environmentally friendly production of H 2 by solar energy. Nanostructured catalysts have additional advantages in photocatalysis [6][7][8][9][10][11] and the photocatalytic production of H 2 from water via solar energy is currently the best available method and is an attractive and competitive technology. As technology advances, the implementation and associated costs of this technique will be significantly reduced.…”

One-pot synthesis of manganese porphyrin covalently functionalized graphene oxide for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…7b. The anodic peak current (I pa ) and cathodic peak current (I pc ) of GO are found to be 0.56 and -0.47 mA, which can be attributed to the electrical conductivity of graphene promoting the electron exchange between the electrochemical probe [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3-/4-and the electrode. MnTPPCl shows I pa and I pc of 0.86 and -0.84 mA, respectively.…”

“…Developing efficient photocatalysts with visible-light response is essential for realizing this task. Since Fujishima and Honda first reported photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen through semiconductor TiO 2 electrode [4], more and more photocatalytic hydrogen generation systems have been developed [5][6][7]. The two-dimensional graphene, with large theoretical surface areas [8], high thermal conductivity [9,10], excellent mobility of charge carriers [11], and halfinteger quantum Hall effect at room temperature [12][13][14][15], has emerged as an attractive basic material for fabricating graphene-based photocatalysts for light-driven water splitting to produce hydrogen.…”

Enhancing Roentgen Sensitivity of Gold-Doped CdIn2S4 Thiospinel for X-Ray Detection Applications

“…According to [3,4], the band gap of CdIn 2 S 4 at room temperature is 2.62 eV. CdIn 2 S 4 is a highly photosensitive semiconductor in the visible range of spectrum and may be used as active material for creation of solar cells and various optoelectronic devices [5][6][7][8][9]. Of interest is also the sensitivity of this material to X-rays.…”
