Abstract

Solar energy to hydrogen production is an effective way to solve the energy crisis. Here, we report a Ti₃CN@TiO₂/CdS photocatalyst with highly efficient photocatalytic performance. Ti₃CN@TiO₂ materials with nanoflower morphology or lamellar morphology were obtained from Ti₃AlCN by controlling the etching time, and then loaded CdS nanoparticles to improve the photocatalytic efficiency. The physical and chemical properties of the catalyst were characterized by various characterization techniques. Ti₃CN@TiO₂/CdS photocatalyst shows an enhanced photocatalytic activity of 3393.4 μmol g⁻¹h⁻¹, much higher than that of CdS and Ti₃CN@TiO₂..
