Abstract EN
MoS2/CdS photocatalyst was fabricated by a hydrothermal method for H2 production under visible light.
This method used low toxic thiourea as a sulfur source and was carried out at 200°C.
Thus, it was better than the traditional methods, which are based on an annealing process at relatively high temperature (above 400°C) using toxic H2S as reducing agent.
Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed that the morphologies of MoS2/CdS samples were feather shaped and MoS2 layer was on the surface of CdS.
The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy testified that the sample was composed of stoichiometric MoS2 and CdS.
The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra displayed that the loading of MoS2 can enhance the optical absorption of MoS2/CdS.
The photocatalytic activity of MoS2/CdS was evaluated by producing hydrogen.
The hydrogen production rate on MoS2/CdS reached 192 μmol·h−1.
This performance was stable during three repeated photocatalytic processes.
