One-Pot Facile Synthesis of CuO-CdWO₄ Nanocomposite for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen (H₂) is a well-known renewable energy source that produces water upon its burning, leaving no harmful emissions. Nanotechnology is utilized to increase hydrogen production using sacrificial reagents. It is an interesting task to develop photocatalysts that are effective, reliable, and affordable for producing H₂ from methanol and acetic acid. In the present study, CuO, CdWO₄, and CuO-CdWO₄ nanocomposite heterostructures were prepared using a cost-efficient, enviro-friendly, and facile green chemistry-based approach. The prepared CuO, CdWO₄, and CuO-CdWO₄ nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction pattern, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, sc
