Comparison to Reported Systems

Comparable materials for photocatalytic water splitting have been reported in the literature in Table 5.4 a summary of characteristics of the prepared catalyst is shown and compared to related systems. CdS nano structures decorated with 3-5 nm Pt nano crystals for photocatalytic hydrogen production were prepared by Bao et al. [59]. The authors measured a hydrogen yield of 3.1 mmol/h over a 10wt% Pt- 

Prepared hybrid photo catalysts show higher photocatalytic efficiency compared to reported colloidal Pt/CdS NRs and Pt/Ti02 based systems considering the minimized amount of Pt 

The calculations indicate that the presented method of using size-selected clusters, thus precisely tuning the necessary coverage, achieves a five-fold reduction of noble 

The extraordinary high QE is related to the high BET surface area of 112.8cm /g of CdS nano structures realizing an efficient separation and fast transport of chaige carriers at the high CdS/electrolyte interface [59].
