Abstract

A semiconductor fabricated by embedding plasmonic Au nanoparticles into CdS exhibits a high activity and stability for photocatalytic H2evolution. This composite structure could take full advantage of electromagnetic fields at the surface of the Au nanoparticles under visible light illumination.
