چکیده
Urchin-like micro/nano heterostructure Au@CdS/WO3 was synthesized by using a facile photodeposition method with no need for an additional stabilizer, which can be used as an efficient all-solid Z-scheme visible-light photocatalyst for H2 generation with a high H2 evolution rate.

A novel ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/CdS heterostructure was successfully synthesized via a facile three-step solution method. RGO serves as an interlayer between ZnO nanowires and CdS quantum dots (QDs), which provides a high speed charge transfer channel, leading to an enhanced charge separation efficiency. Under UV light irradiation, the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/RGO/CdS heteros...
متن کاملHydrogen sensing by localized surface plasmon resonance in colloidal solutions of Au-WO3-Pd
Nowadays, hydrogen has attracted significant attention as a next generation clean energy source. Hydrogen is highly flammable, so detection of hydrogen gas is required. Gold nanoparticle based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is an advanced and powerful sensing technique, which is well known for its high sensitivity to surrounding refractive index change in the local environment. We p...
