Cover Feature: Indium Phosphide Quantum Dots Integrated with Cadmium Sulfide Nanorods for Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction (ChemCatChem 18/2020)

The Cover Feature shows the integration of indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots on CdS nanorods (NRs) for the photocatalytic CO2 conversion under solar light irradiation. In their Full Paper, K. H. Do, D. P. Kumar et al. explain the simple and inexpensive process for the preparations of pure InP QDs and demonstrate the enhanced sunlight‐driven photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity of InP/CdS, compared to the bare CdS NRs. In addition, the suppression of H2 evolution after five hours of irradiation in the long‐term photocatalysis experiment resulted in enhanced CO selectivity during CO2 reduction. This composite is a promising candidate for harvesting solar energy and photochemical conversion.More information can be found in the Full Paper by K. H. Do, D. P. Kumar et al..
