Facile Hydrothermally Synthesized a Novel CdS Nanoflower/Rutile-TiO₂ Nanorod Heterojunction Photoanode Used for Photoelectrocatalytic Hydrogen Generation

With the application of ethylenediamine (EDA) as a solvent, a template, and co-ordination agents, novel photoanode architecture of the cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoflower (NF)/rutile(R)-TiO2 nanorod (NR) heterojunction is successfully synthesized using a facile two-step hydrothermal process. The optimized CdS (medium concentration; MC) NF/R-TiO2 NR heterojunction exhibited a greatly enhanced visible-light photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance,...
