Abstract

Carbon containing nano-sized molybdenum sulfide composites (MoS(x)C(y)) obtained by thermal decomposition reactions of (R(4)N)(2)MoS(4) (R = -H (C(0)), -CH(3) (C(1)), -C(3)H(7) (C(3)), and -C(6)H(13) (C(6))) show promising performance in visible-light driven photocatalytic hydrogen generation.
