Boosting CdS Photocatalytic Activity for Hydrogen Evolution in Formic Acid Solution by P Doping and MoS₂ Photodeposition.

ABSTRACT: Formic acid is an appealing hydrogen storage material. In order to rapidly produce hydrogen from formic acid under relatively mild conditions, high-efficiency and stable photocatalytic systems are of great significance to prompt hydrogen (H₂) evolution from formic acid. In this paper, an efficient and stable photocatalytic system (CdS/P/MoS₂) for H₂ production from formic acid is successfully constructed by elemental P doping of CdS nanorods combining with in situ photodeposition of MoS₂. In this system, P doping reduces the band gap of CdS for enhanced light absorption, as well as promoting the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. More importantly, MoS₂ nanoparticles decorated on P-doped CdS nanorods can play as noble-metal-f
