Congratulations to Xian Yang for her paper accepted by Journal of Colloid and Interface Science!
Copper-doped cadmium sulfide quantum dots (Cu-CdS QDs) were used as photocatalysts for the deuteration of halides under visible-light irradiation, with D2O as the deuterium source. The combined experimental and theoretical calculation results reveal that long-lived carriers are produced by rapidly capturing photoinduced holes in the Cu-doped energy levels, which is beneficial for improving photocatalytic reactivity.
