Abstract

The photocatalytic alanine and hydrogen production reaction were studied by using CdS as a semiconductor photocatalysts. The rate of alanine and hydrogen production depends strongly on the temperature in heat treatment of CdS powder. In particular, the rate of alanine production, which was observed using Pt/CdS(A)-(CdS from Mitsuwa), was increased about six times than that of using Pt/CdS(B)-(CdS from Furruchi) under the same heat treatment condition at 500$^{\circ}$C. And the photocatalytic activity for alanine production using bare CdS(A) or Pt/CdS(A) was almost same with increasing temperature in heat treatment in the range of 100-600$^{\circ}$C. From X-ray diffraction data and photoluminescence spectrum, we conclude that the crystal structure changes of CdS(A) or strong interaction at interface of Pt and CdS contribute to increasing the rate of alanine and hydrogen production reaction.
