Abstract

Abstract : A catalytically active and chemically CdIn2 S4 layer was coated on CdS nanoflakes to improve the stability and even photocurrent of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Abstract : Cadmium sulfide was popularly utilized as a light harvesting material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, however, the drawback of poor durability limits its practical application. Herein, we show that a catalytically active and chemically inert cadmium indium sulfide (CdIn2 S4 ) can improve the stability and even photocurrent of a CdS photoelectrode.
