Abstract: Photocatalytic water splitting is an ideal way to utilize solar energy. In order to popularize photocatalytic water splitting on a large scale, the current problem to be solved is to prepare a low-cost photocatalyst without noble metals. An efficient and stable photocatalytic system based on CdS nanorods for photocatalytic water splitting was successfully constructed by combining P element doping with in-situ photodeposition of MoS2 cocatalyst. The prepared CdS/P/MoS2 system showed stronger photocatalytic activity and stability than the unmodified CdS. The photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of CdS/P/MoS2 in distilled water reached 692.9 μmol/(g·h), and its apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) at 420 nm was 0.31%.

Key words: cadmium sulfide, phosphorus doped, molybdenum disulfide, photocatalytic hydrogen production, non-noble metal
