Facile synthesis of CdS nanorods with enhanced photocatalytic activity

Dynamically Optimized Multi-interface Novel BiSI-Promoted Redox Sites Spatially Separated n–p–n Double Heterojunctions BiSI/MoS2/CdS for Hydrogen Evolution

“…For example, as a stable nonprecious metal sulfide, the p-type semiconductor MoS 2 has been widely studied. − Studies show that it can work as an efficient cocatalyst due to its lower Eg and unique samdwich conformation. Previous studies have shown that it is constructed by three parallel S–Mo–S layers. ,− The experimental results also showed that the photoactivity CdS was improved after combination of MoS 2 . ,,− …”

Visible light active CdS nanorods: one-pot synthesis of aldonitrones

“…13 In this regard, CdS has been introduced as a suitable photocatalyst due to its unique photoelectric properties such as a narrow band gap (2.4 eV) and good activity under a wide range of sunlight irradiation. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] During the reduction of nitro aromatic compounds, unstable intermediates (e.g. nitroso, hydroxylamine) are rapidly reduced to the corresponding amines [25][26][27][28] or converted to other products such as hydrazines, azoarenes and azoxyarenes.…”

Enhanced PEC Water Splitting Performance of Silver Nanoparticle-Coated CdS Nanowire Photoanodes: The Role of Silver Deposition

“…Cadmium sulfide, due to its suitable band gap position and light sensitizing ability, is considered as a promising photocatalyst material, its nanostructures have been investigated extensively in solar-driven PEC, photocatalysis and solar cell applications. − However, some critical shortcomings such as its limited visible-light absorption regime, low charge-transfer rate, and fast recombination limit its PEC energy conversion efficiency. ,, Among the noble metals, Ag is an inexpensive metal, and Ag NPs <30 nm under visible-light illumination exhibit strong surface plasmon resonance and produce highly energetic hot electrons through nonradiative decay, resulting in enhanced optical absorption, charge separation, and thus improved PEC performance . The production of highly energetic hot electrons and cost effectiveness make it a good alternative to expensive noble metals such as Au NPs and an ideal choice for large-scale applications.…”
