Resumen:
The photocatalytic activity of CdS nanosphere, nanorod or nanofiber was investigated for the hydrogen production from either methanol-water or sulfide/sulfite solution irradiated with blue light. The nanostructured CdS were obtained by the precipitation method at high ethylenediamine content solutions and at moderate temperature conditions. The synthesized CdS nanofiber using CS2 as sulfur source presented the highest photocatalytic activity for the H2 production (954 µmol h- 1 g- 1) in the reaction system with four blue LED lamps. This high photoactivity was attributed to the quantum confinement effect generated by the small particle size of the nanofibers (D = ~ 5 nm and L = 25 nm). © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
