Preparation of CdS@TiO2/Ni2P photocatalyst for value-added organic transformation coupling with enhanced hydrogen evolution

Visible Light Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Paired with Excellent Intramolecular Coupling of Dithiols into Sulfurous Heterocyclic Compounds over CdS/P25/Ni2P

“…The aforementioned experimental results indicate that H 2 O is the source of the H element in the released H 2 rather than dithiols. Similar phenomena had been documented in the previous literatures. ,, …”

“…The aforementioned experimental results indicate that H 2 O is the source of the H element in the released H 2 rather than dithiols. Similar phenomena had been documented in the previous literatures 41,51,58. A mechanism (Scheme 1) is proposed for photocatalytic H 2 evolution paired with the intramolecular coupling of dithiols into sulfurous heterocyclic compounds over S 1 O 1 P under visible light, on account of the accumulated experimental results and analyses.…”

CdS/TiO2 nanostructures synthesized via the SILAR method for enhanced photocatalytic glucose conversion and simultaneous hydrogen production under UV and simulated solar irradiation

“…Moreover, the degradation of organic compounds coupled with H 2 production was studied using CdS/TiO 2 composites as photocatalysts. 17,18 The authors showed that the migration of holes from the valence band of TiO 2 to the valence band of CdS and the transfer of excited electrons from the conduction band of CdS to TiO 2 result in longer charge lifetimes of CdS/ TiO 2 composite photocatalysts. The degradation of organic compounds is then facilitated by the holes on CdS, while the electrons remaining in TiO 2 can successfully take part in H 2 generation.…”
