CdS quantum-dots/TiO2 nanotube heterostructure for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Photocatalytic H2 evolution through water splitting is an important approach to fabricate a sustainable and renewable energy source. Currently, the development of photocatalytic water splitting is limited by the low efficiency and poor stability of photocatalysts. Among all the studies of photocatalyst, TiO2 and CdS are well developed and show excellent preformance. This project aims to synthesis the heterostructure of CdS quantum-dots/TiO2 nanotube, and study the potential application of it in water splitting. [2nd Award
