Abstract:
A metallic interstitial compound Ni3Mo3N was synthesized as a co-catalyst modified CdS nanorod for the first time. Photocatalytic studies show that the efficient charge separation and transfer from CdS to Ni3Mo3N enables high visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution at 6.56 mmol g-1 h-1. The Schottky heterojunction between CdS and Ni3Mo3N might be the key factor for the high photocatalytic activity.
