Biotemplated CdS Nano-Aggregate Networks for Highly Effective Visible-Light Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: In the last few decades, many new synthesis techniques have been developed in order to obtain an effective visible-light responsive photocatalyst for hydrogen production by water splitting. Among these new approaches, the biotemplated synthesis method has aroused much attention because of its unique advantages in preparing materials with special morphology and structure. In this work, Hydrilla verticillata (L. f.) Royle was used as a biotemplate to synthesize a CdS photocatalyst. The as-synthesized sample had the microstructure of nano-scaled aggregate networks and its activity for photocatalytic hydrogen production was six times higher than that of CdS synthesized without a template in an Na₂S-Na₂SO₃ sacrificial system. The use of Pt and PdS as coca
