Sensitization of cadmium sulfide by cyanine dyes in the photocatalytic production of hydrogen

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of photocatalysis of hydrogen production from aqueous alcohol mixtures by heterostructures of cadmium sulfide with dyes under the action of light with λ >600 nm was shown. A probable mechanism of the sensitization is proposed on the basis of an examination of the spectral, photochemical, and electrochemical data obtained.
