Synthesis and photochemical performance of morphology-controlled CdS photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution under visible light

Preparation of carbon spheres supported CdS photocatalyst for enhancement its photocatalytic H 2 evolution

“…Therefore, how to greatly enhance the activities of photocatalysts is the most important issue. Many researchers have made efforts to promote the activity of CdS particles, such as combining CdS with other semiconductors [11][12][13][14][15][16], forming sulfide solid solution [17][18][19][20], doping metal element [21], as well as preparing various morphological CdS materials [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. http Recently, significant interest has been devoted to designing semiconductor-carbon composite materials [29], and some studies have proven that carbon can act as sensitizer and transfer electrons to the semiconductors [30].…”

Metal diselenide nanoparticles as highly active and stable electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction

“…26 Moreover, as we know, different morphologies of the catalysts have some influences on the catalytic performances due to their distinct crystal facets. [39][40] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure S1, NiSe 2 shows a more uniform morphology, which may possess favorable crystal facets for a high HER performance, than CoSe 2 . Therefore, the former reveals the better catalytic activity than the latter.…”

Light Scattering Amplification on Dye Sensitized Solar Cells Assembled by Hollyhock-shaped CdS-TiO2Composites

“…CdS was prepared using a conventional hydrothermal treatment as described in the literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] To prepare the sol mixture, sodium sulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ·5H 2 O 99.9%, Junsei Chemical, Japan) and cadmium chloride (Cd(Cl) 3 ·2.5H 2 O, 99.9%, Junsei Chemical, Japan) were used as the S and Cd precursors, respectively.…”
