Hydrothermal synthesis of a uniform sub-micrometer-spherical Zn0.83Cd0.17S photocatalyst with high activity for photocatalytic hydrogen production

A series of Zn_0.83Cd_0.17S with high photocatalytic activity was hydrothermally synthesized, the best hydrogen production rate of 45.97 mmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹ was obtained when the hydrothermal temperature was 160 °​C and the dosage was 0.03 g.
