Abstract

Noble metal-free, Cd1 − x Zn x S-based photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide and sodium sulfite upon irradiation with visible light (λ > 420 nm) have been synthesized and characterized by a complex of physicochemical methods. The effects of pH and catalyst and substrate concentrations on the rate of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution have been investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the quantum efficiency of the process is up to 12.9%.
