Dual-mechanism exciton dynamics of gold-decorated, carbon-doped CdS nanophotocatalyst for exceptional co-production of benzaldehyde and hydrogen.
Sluggish kinetics of overall water splitting and high costs of sacrificial agent-dependent H2 evolution have severely restricted the scale application of light-driven hydrogen production technology. The value-added oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA) has emerged as an ideal candidate to circumvent the aforementioned obsta...
