A Massively Preparable, Flexible and Efficient Photocatalytic System for H2 Production from Water: Cd0.5Zn0.5S/SrWO4 Nanoparticles Porous Film Fabricated on Ti Plate

“…Numerous Cd x Zn 1– x S-based photocatalysts with excellent performance have been developed. − Notably, our recent discovery revealed that SrWO 4 serves as an efficient cocatalyst for Cd x Zn 1– x S. The resulting Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S/SrWO 4 composite nanoparticles demonstrated remarkable photocatalytic activity for H 2 evolution under visible irradiation . Moreover, we successfully fabricated a flexible and shape-adaptive photocatalytic system with high activity by loading the Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S/SrWO 4 nanoparticles on filter papers . This efficient system can be conveniently applied on nonplanar reaction beds and is easily recyclable, showcasing significant application potential in the field of photocatalytic H 2 generation.…”
