Abstract
-Pd1.5% and CuS-Pd1.5% showed different photocatalytic activities due to differences in the matching relationships between the band structure and the redox potential. In this paper, extensive details on adjusting and matching the energy band structures, as well as viable methods for improving photocatalytic performance, are provided.
