TLDR
In this article, a novel system for photocatalytic hydrogen generation that comprises semiconductor (CdS) crystallites embedded in a polymer (Nafion) matrix that also contains a hydrogen-evolution catalyst (Pt) is reported.Abstract:
The construction, characterization, and evaluation of a novel system for photocatalytic hydrogen generation that comprises semiconductor (CdS) crystallites embedded in a polymer (Nafion) matrix that also contains a hydrogen-evolution catalyst (Pt) are reported. Hydrogen-production efficiencies from water containing a sacrificial electron donor (sulfide ion) were greater than those commonly obtained with unsupported colloidal or powdered semiconductors under similar conditions. Several factors dramatically influence performance: the crystalline form and surface composition of the semiconductor and the extent of catalyst dispersion throughout the film.read more
