Abstract
The possibility of photocatalysis of hydrogen production from aqueous alcohol mixtures by heterostructures of cadmium sulfide with dyes under the action of light with λ >600 nm was shown. A probable mechanism of the sensitization is proposed on the basis of an examination of the spectral, photochemical, and electrochemical data obtained.
