TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the properties of active ZnS photocatalysts, the reaction parameters, and the formation of the reaction products, and they found that the reaction rate was strongly dependent on the amount of zinc.Abstract:
Hydrogen has been produced efficiently by the irradiation of suspensions of metalized ZnS powders in the presence of hole scavengers such as S/sup 2 -/ and SO/sub 3//sup 2 -/ions, mixtures of these two, or S/sup 2 -/ and hypophosphite ions. Results of investigation of the properties of active ZnS photocatalysts, the reaction parameters, and the formation of the reaction products are reported. The rate of the reaction was found to be strongly dependent on the amount of ZnS, and ZnS produced 5 times as much hydrogen as CdS.read more
