C₆₀- and CdS-Co-Modified Nano-Titanium Dioxide for Highly Efficient Photocatalysis and Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: The inherent properties of TiO₂, including a wide band gap and restricted spectral response range, hinder its commercial application and its ability to harness only 2-3% of solar energy. To address these challenges and unlock TiO₂'s full potential in photocatalysis, C₆₀- and CdS-co-modified nano-titanium dioxide has been adopted in this work to reduce the band gap, extend the absorption wavelength, and control photogenerated carrier recombination, thereby enhancing TiO₂'s light-energy-harnessing capabilities and hydrogen evolution capacity. Using the sol-gel method, we successfully synthesized CdS-C₆₀/TiO₂ composite nanomaterials, harnessing the unique strengths of CdS and C₆₀. The results showed a remarkable aver
