Abstract
We show that in contrast to conventional compound photocatalysts, α-sulfur crystals of cyclooctasulfur (S8) are a visible-light-active elemental photocatalyst. The α-S crystals were found to have the ability not only to generate ·OH radicals but also to split water in a photoelectrochemical process under both UV–vis and visible-light irradiation. Although the absolute activity obtained was low because of the large particle size and poor...
