WO₃@CdS Core-Shell heterojunction for Noble-metal-free cooperative photocatalytic H₂ evolution and benzyl alcohol oxidation
Solar-driven photocatalytic water splitting offers a sustainable solution to the energy crisis. We developed a noble-metal-free WO₃@CdS heterojunction photocatalyst, where in situ growth of CdS nanoparticles on WO₃ nanorods accelerates charge separation. The S-scheme charge transfer mechanism driven by an internal electric field maintains robust redox activity, enabling efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) coupled with benzyl alcohol oxidation. This work highlights the critical role of heterojunction engineering and morphology control in high-performance photocatalysis.
