In the past few years, many encouraging achievements have been made in the research area of graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts. Among them, CdS/graphene nanocomposites have attracted extensive attention as an important kind of photocatalyst in chemical and material science, due to its superior photocatalytic activity and photostability under visible-light irradiation. The aim here is to address the enhancement mechanism of the photocatalytic performance of CdS/graphene composite photocatalysts, and systematically summarize recent progress regarding the design and synthesis of CdS/graphene nanocomposites. These nanocomposites are promising for a great diversity of applications in visible-light photocatalytic fields, including artificial photosynthetic systems (photocatalytic hydrogen production and CO2 reduction), environmental remediation, and organic photosynthesis. Special attention is given to the photocatalytic hydrogen production and pollutant photodegradation over CdS/graphene nanocomposite photocatalysts. Furthermore, perspectives on CdS/graphene-based materials are discussed, including the various remaining challenges for large-scale applications, identifying prospective areas for related research in this field.  ISSN : 1614-6832  Journal Name : ADVANCED ENERGY MATERIALS  Volume : 5  Issue Number : 4  Publishing Year : 1435 AH 2015 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, August 21, 2017  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email Q Li Li, Q Investigator Doctorate   X Li Li, X Researcher Doctorate   S Wageh Wageh, S Researcher Doctorate   A.A Al-Ghamdi, Al-Ghamdi, A.A Researcher Doctorate   J Yu Yu, J Researcher Doctorate jiaguoyu@yahoo.com Files File Name Type Description  42698.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
