研究目的
To design and prepare a ternary nanocomposite MXene@Au@CdS for efficient and excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production, addressing the high cost and difficulty in obtaining conventional co-catalysts like Pt.
研究成果
The ternary nanocomposite MXene@Au@CdS demonstrates high catalytic activity for photocatalytic hydrogen production, with a hydrogen production rate significantly higher than that of pure CdS. The study provides a strategy for developing stable and cost-effective semiconductor photocatalysts for solar water decomposition.
研究不足
The study does not address the scalability of the synthesis process for industrial applications or the long-term stability of the nanocomposite under varying environmental conditions.
