Abstract

Abstract: Recently, a bifunctional CdS/MoO₂/MoS₂ photocatalyst has been reported for coupling hydrogen production and pyruvic acid synthesis. MoS₂ and MoO₂, which are synthesized in one step, facilitate the bifunctional integration of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and pyruvic acid synthesis by accepting photogenerated electrons and holes, respectively. This work inspires the new idea of coupling hydrogen production with selective organic synthesis to obtain green hydrogen and high-value products.
