Photocatalysis by Cadmium Sulfide CdS Semiconductors

High-yield selective oxidation of organic olefins to carbonyls occurring upon irradiation of platinised or metal-free cadmium sulfide was 

Veiy recently, CdSe/CdS core-shell nanowires have been studied aimed at photocatalytic generation of hydrogen, which indicated that the photo-catalytic efficiency follows an order CdSe CdSe/Au NP CdS CdSe/CdS/ Au NP CdSe/CdS (NP = nanoparticle).
