Visible‐Light‐Induced Generation of H 2 by Nanocomposites of Few‐Layer TiS 2 and TaS 2 with CdS Nanoparticles

Graphene analogues of TaS2 and TiS2 (3-4 layers), prepared by Li intercalation followed by exfoliation in water, were characterized. Nanocomposites of CdS with few-layer TiS2 and TaS2 were employed for the visible-light-induced H2 evolution reaction (HER). Benzyl alcohol was used as the sacrifici…
