Abstract
, which was almost 93-fold higher than that of the pristine CdS nanorods. Also, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the favorable band alignment for charge transport and superior catalytic activity of the newly fabricated ternary nanostructures make them a potential candidate for solar-driven hydrogen production.
