Abstract

The CdS/TiO₂NTs composite was prepared by a simple two-step chemical solution routes to directly transfer trititanate nanotubes to TiO₂NTs and simultaneously coupled with CdS nanoparticles. The results of XRD, TEM, Diffuse reflectance UV-Visible absorption spectra revealed that the CdS nanoparticles were homogeneously embedded on the surface of TiO₂NTs and the absorption spectrum of TiO₂NTs was extended to visible region. The activity of hydrogen production by photocatalytic water decomposition for the CdS/TiO₂NTs composite was examined under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm) and the quantity of H₂ evolution was ca. 1708 μL/g for 6 h.
