Abstract

Surface-attached polypyrrole polymer films incorporating a transition-metal catalyst improve markedly the stability of n-type CdS against photocorrosion in aqueous electrolyte while affording the visible-light-assisted water-cleavage reaction. A comparison is made of the oxygen and cadmium production for bare, catalyst-covered, and polypyrrole-catalyst-coated n-type CdS photoanodes.
