摘要：

The CdS/TiO2 composites were synthesized using titanate nanotubes (TiO2NTs) with different pore diameters as the precursor by simple ion change and followed by sulfurization process at a moderate temperature. Some of results obtained from XRD, TEM, BET, UV-vis and PL analysis confirmed that cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdSNPs) incorporated into the titanium dioxide nanotubes. The photocatalytic production of H-2 was remarkably enhanced when CdS nanoparticles was incorporated into TiO2NTs. The apparent quantum yield for hydrogen production reached about 43.4% under visible light around lambda = 420 nm. The high activity might be attributed to the following reasons: (1) the quantum size effect and homogeneous distribution of CdSNPs; (2) the synergetic effects between CdS particles and TiO2NTs, viz., the potential gradient at the interface between CdSNPs and TiO2NTs.
