Monodisperse CeO2/CdS heterostructured spheres: one-pot synthesis and enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen activity

Well-dispersed and highly-crystalline CeO2/CdS heterostructured spheres with diameters of about 500 nm were directly grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates via electrodeposition from aqueous solution. These CeO2/CdS heterostructured spheres exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic performance in hydrogen production.
