Abstract
H2 energy causes the increasing attention as the green, environmental friendly energy style, and photocatalytic H2 production is the effective strategy by the inexhaustible solar energy conversion. Herein, CdS-Bi2S3 nanoparticles were decorated on TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTs) via one-pot solvothermal synthesis method. The cosensitization effectively extended the optical response region, reduced electron/hole recombination and strengthened the photocatalytic H2 evolution performance. The high photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (79.92 μmol·cm−2·h−1) was obtained by TiO2 NTs/Bi2S3CdS, and the photocatalyst also exhibited dramatically high stability. The photocatalytic water splitting for H2 evolution mechanism and charge carrier transportation were proposed.
