“…As a photocatalyst active for the CO 2 conversion, CdS can also do its work when used as an electrocatalyst [57,63,68]. We report therein the literature's results obtained by the use of some potentially prebiotic metal sulfides as electrocatalyst for the CO 2 reduction, as they can be potentially active as photocatalysts [69,70], although careful experimental conditions tuning must be performed and discordant results can be obtained when shifting from electrocatalysis to photocatalysis and vice versa [71]. A study by Kitadai et al using various single-metal sulfides (Ag 2 S, CdS, CoS, CuS, FeS, MnS, MoS 2 , NiS, PbS, WS 2 , and ZnS) demonstrated that CdS and Ag 2 S function as excellent CO production catalysts [72].…”
