The pulsed laser-induced Schottky junction via in-situ forming Cd clusters on CdS surfaces toward efficient visible light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

[Display omitted] •The post-treatment technique via pulsed laser irradiation was developed.•The Schottky junction between Cd clusters and CdS was in-situ formed on CdS surfaces.•The rate of hydrogen evolution over in the first hour is 40-times than that of pure CdS.•The Schottky junction between Cd...
