One-pot synthesis of reduced graphene oxide–cadmium sulfide nanocomposite and its photocatalytic hydrogen production

Abstract

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)–cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by a one-pot solvothermal process without pretreatment of graphene oxide (GO) and a precipitation process, in which GO needs to be pre-reduced by hydrazine. The as-obtained RGO–CdS nanocomposites were used as photocatalysts for hydrogen production under visible light irradiation, and it was found that the product derived from the one-pot solvothermal process showed much better photoactivity than that from the precipitation method.
