All reagents used in this experiment were of analytical grade and were used without further purification. Citric acid (C6H6O7), nitric acid, cadmium nitrate, copper nitrate, sodium hydroxide, cerium nitrate, ethanol solution (C2H6O), distilled water was used throughout the experiment. ...
(CdS) nanoparticles have been extensively studied as semiconductive photocatalysts in previous studies on hydrogen generation and environmental purification due to their suitable bandgap and sensitive light response. However, the practical applications of CdS are limited by its low charge separation, which ...
1. Introduction Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising approach to harness solar energy for vari- ous environmental applications, including water splitting, air purification, and wastewater treatment [1–3]. In 1972, Fujishima [4,5] and Honda pioneered research on photocatalytic water splitting ...
