Dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) via photocatalytic technology is an attractive strategy to meet the enhanced demand of hydrogen. Regarding the existing complex modification strategies and unclear mechanism of visible-light response CdS-based photocatalytic materials for dehydrogenation of FA, a simple surface nickel-modified CdS nanocrystals has been constructed for boosting the hydrogen production from FA. In situ infrared spectroscopy and electron spin resonance technology were utilized to study the entire photocatalytic decomposition process of FA, which have limited study in previous work. The surface nickel-modification promoted the adsorption of formic acid on the material surface and the generation of key intermediate hydroxyl radicals, leading to faster hydrogen production and enhanced stability. Consequently, the photocatalytic activity was 12.8 times higher than that of unmodified CdS materials after 48 h irradiation. This work provides a new approach for constructing simple and efficient visible-light response CdS-based photocatalysts for hydrogen production from FA under mild condition.
