摘要：
Zn0.5Cd0.5S solid solution, modified with bimetallic CoPtx nanoparticles, has been prepared using a two-step organic solution method. The photocatalytic H-2 production rate of CoPtx-Zn0.5Cd0.5S nanocomposites with different composition and percentage of CoPtx was investigated. The results showed that the 1 wt% CoPt3-Zn0.5Cd0.5S sample had the best activity which was 4.7 times higher than that of pure Zn0.5Cd0.5S and 1.2 times higher than that of Pt-Zn0.5Cd0.5S for photocatalytic H-2 production. The transient photocurrent response of the Zn0.5Cd0.5S showed an obvious increase in the current density after CoPtx loading. Electrochemical impedance spectra measurements showed that the CoPtx-Zn0.5Cd0.5S nanocomposites with x = 2 and 3 had lower charge transfer resistance R-t than that of Pt-Zn0.5Cd0.5S. The enhanced catalytic properties of the CoPtx-Zn0.5Cd0.5S nanocomposites are attributed to their better accumulation ability for photoexcited electrons and higher rate for charge separation and transportation.
