Metal-doped CdS/MoS2 heterojunctions for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant

Construction of Pd‐Co‐Doped CdS Heterojunctions as Efficient Platforms in Photocatalysis

“…From one hand, Pd metal is reckoned as an efficient electron sink, due to its large work function (>5 eV) [40] . Similarly, palladium oxide nanostructures may be considered as an electron trap as well as catalytically active sited for reductive processes [41,42] . On the other hand, cobalt oxides are considered as rather hole trappers [40,43,44] .…”

“…[40] Similarly, palladium oxide nanostructures may be considered as an electron trap as well as catalytically active sited for reductive processes. [41,42] On the other hand, cobalt oxides are considered as rather hole trappers. [40,43,44] By taking into account the XPS data related to the optimized ternary hybrid (CdS@Pd 90 CoO 10 ), we constructed an energy diagram with the suggested processes, leading to either reductive or oxidative formation of hydroxy radicals (Figure 7).…”

The Shell Matters: Self-Organized CdS-ZnS/MnS-Core-Shell—Porphyrin-Polymer Nano-Assemblies for Photocatalysis

“…Fine tuning the optical properties of semiconductor nanoparticles can be achieved by varying the size, ligands, and doping [10][11][12][13][14]. The influence of dopants in II-VI semiconductors has been extensively studied for different transition metals, such as manganese(II), nickel(II), silver(I), and copper(I, II) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The metal dopant has a strong impact on the semiconductor's photocatalytic properties [24,25].…”
