... CdS nanorods have been successfully decorated on the surface of MOF (metal–organic framework) UiO–66(NH₂) via a facile room-temperature photodeposition technique in a controlled manner. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the CdS photodeposition proceeds via the preferential reduction of Cd ions to Cd⁰ followed by chemical reaction with S₈. The photocatalytic performances of the obtained Cd ...

Abstract:
... Interfacial charge separation and transfer enduringly constitutes a core issue, which dictates the efficiency of a photocatalytic reaction. However, the exquisite modulation of directional charge transfer to ideal reaction sites remains challenging in terms of the fast recombination rates of photoinduced charge carriers and the difficulty in constructing spatially separated high-speed charge trans ...

Abstract:
... Harvesting solar energy to drive highly efficient photocatalytic conversion of renewable biomass and its derivatives to value-added chemicals with the concomitant formation of hydrogen (H₂) is a green and promising strategy to cope with the global energy dilemma. In this context, we have reported the facile assembly of uniformly distributed CdS nanoparticles (NPs) on the two-dimensional (2D) platf ...
... A series of novel CdS/CdIn₂S₄ composite materials were prepared via a one-pot solvothermal process. The as-obtained photocatalysts were characterized by several techniques and the photocatalytic properties of CdS/CdIn₂S₄ photocatalysts were studied by photocascade synthesis of Schiff base compounds in a photocatalytic reaction system of aromatic alcohols and nitrobenzene irradiated with visible li ...

Abstract:
... Selective transformation of alcohols to corresponding aldehydes has a crucial significance under mild conditions in industrial manufacturing. Herein, a novel photothermal catalyst (Cr₂O₃-Al₂O₃)/CdS (CAO/CdS) was successfully synthesized by coupling two-dimensional Cr₂O₃-Al₂O₃ (CAO) nanosheets and one-dimensional CdS nanorods. The CAO/CdS was characterized in detail. The synergistic effect of therm ...
