Fabrication of Cd( ii )-MOF-based ternary photocatalytic composite materials for H 2 production via a gel-to-crystal approach

Cd(II)-MOF-based ternary composite materials of CdS@Cd(II)-MOF@TiO2 were prepared by a unique TiO2 induced gel-to-crystal approach. CdS@Cd(II)-MOF@TiO2 was demonstrated to be a highly active photocatalyst for hydrogen production under visible light based on water photolysis.
