Photocatalytic C–H activation for C–C/CN/C–S bond formation over CdS: effect of morphological regulation and S vacancies

“…41 Compared with the CdS nanorods, the enhancement of the (100) and (110) crystal planes in the axial direction of Sv-CdS NRs indicated that simple calcination promoted the formation of hexagonal phase CdS with increased lattice distortion. 36,39 In addition, it was observed that there were a large number of fuzzy stripes in the HRTEM spectrum of Sv-CdS NRs (rectangular area in Fig. 2g; the HRTEM original spectrum of Sv-CdS NRs is shown in Fig.…”

“…This is because CdS nanorods could easily form the hexagonal phase at high temperature, which led to the high exposure of the characteristic crystal plane of the hexagonal phase. 39 The enhanced hexagonal phase characteristics would result in more serious lattice distortion in Sv-CdS NRs, increase the polarization dipole moment along with the internal polarization electric field as well as promote separation and diffusion of photogenerated carriers. 36…”

Review of Recent Developments in the Fabrication of ZnO/CdS Heterostructure Photocatalysts for Degradation of Organic Pollutants and Hydrogen Production

“…The effectiveness of ZnO/CdS heterostructure photocatalysts has recently been improved by a variety of methods, such as morphological control, doping, cocatalyst loading optimization, development of ternary heterostructures, etc. [51][52][53][54][55]. Thus, a review of recent research advances is required to offer a clear roadmap for forthcoming breakthroughs.…”
