Nanoscale Assembly of CdS/BiVO₄ Hybrids for Coupling Selective Fine Chemical Synthesis and Hydrogen Production under Visible Light.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneously utilizing photogenerated electrons and holes in one photocatalytic system to synthesize value-added chemicals and clean hydrogen (H₂) energy meets the development requirements of green chemistry. Herein, we report a binary material of CdS/BiVO₄ combining one-dimensional (1D) CdS nanorods (NRs) with two-dimensional (2D) BiVO₄ nanosheets (NSs) constructed through a facile electrostatic self-assembly procedure for the selectively photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols integrated with H₂ production, which exhibits significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance. Within 2 h, the conversion of aromatic alcohols over CdS/BiVO₄-25 was approximately 9-fold and 40-fold higher than that over pure CdS and BiVO₄,
