The study aimed at utilizing organic sacrificial agents in water, modeled by formic acid, in combination with visible light driven photocatalysts to produce hydrogen with high efficiencies. The photocatalytic hydrogen production of cadmium sulfide (CdS)\/titanate nanotubes (TNTs) binary hybrid with specific CdS content was investigated. After visible light irradiation for 3 h, the hydrogen production rate of 25 wt% CdS\/TNT achieved 179.35 \u03bcmol\u00b7h\u22121. Thanks to the two-step process, CdS\/TNTs-WO3 ternary hybrid can better promote the efficiency of water splitting compared with CdS\/TNTs binary hybrid. The hydrogen production of 25 wt% CdS\/TNTs-WO3 achieved 212.68 \u03bcmol\u00b7h\u22121, under the same condition. Coating of platinum metal onto the WO3 could further promote the reaction. Results showed that 0.2 g 0.1 wt% Pt\/WO3 + 0.2 g 25 wt% CdS\/TNTs had the best hydrogen production rate of 428.43 \u03bcmol\u00b7h\u22121. The resultant materials were well characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis spectra.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2015.639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,29]],"date-time":"2015-12-29T02:44:12Z","timestamp":1451357052000},"page":"1667-1672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Photocatalytic
