Visible light driven hydrogen evolution with a noble metal free CuGa<inf>2</inf>In<inf>3</inf>S<inf>8</inf> nanoparticle system in water

Abstract

Visible light irradiation of CGIS nanoparticles with a Ni salt displayed superior sacrificial H2 evolution activity than when employing the precious metals Pt, Rh and Ru.T.A.K. thanks the Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the British Council at Cairo for financially supporting his visit to the University of Cambridge, UK.
