Pd-decorated CdS nanostructures with controlled morphologies for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by water splitting
Uttara S. Shelatkar, Sounak Roy, Satyapaul A. SinghMorphology and Pd loading affect the photocatalytic H 2 evolution of CdS. Spherical nanoparticles outperform hierarchical structures, while 3 wt% Pd provides the highest H 2 yield through efficient charge separation while excess Pd reduces activity.
