Summary:The invention relates to a process for preparing chalcogen catalysts of the type PdS/ZnS-CdS, to be used in water decomposition by means of solar light in the visible range. According to the invention, the process consists of a first stage of ZnS synthesis, by heating a suspension obtained from zinc (II) sulphate, acetic acid and sodium sulphide in bi-distilled water to a temperature of 200°C and drying it under vacuum, after which, in a second stage, crystallized ZnS is suspended in water with ultrasonication, glacial acetic acid, cadmium acetate and palladium (II) chloride solution are added, the mixture is heated to the temperature of 200°C at a rate of 2°C/min, for 72 h, after which it is cooled down at the same rate, until reaching the ambient temperature, to result in photocatalysts as PdS/ZnS-CdS-type mixtures. Invenţia se referă la un procedeu de obţinere a unor catalizatori calcogenici de tip PdS/ZnS-CdS, utilizaţi în reacţia de descompunere a apei cu ajutorul luminii solare din domeniul vizibil. Procedeul, conform invenţiei, constă într- o primă etapă de sinteză a ZnS prin încălzirea la temperatura de 200°C a unei suspensii rezultate din sulfat de zinc(II), acid acetic şi sulfură de sodiu în apă bidistilată şi uscare în vid, după care, într-o a doua etapă, se suspendă ZnS cristalizată în apă sub ultrasonare, se adaugă acid acetic glacial, soluţie de clorură de paladiu(II) şi acetat de cadmiu, amestecul se încălzeşte la temperatura de 200°C cu o viteză de 2°C/min, timp de 72 h, după care se răceşte cu aceaşi viteză până la temperatura camerei, rezultând fotocatalizatori ca amestecuri de tip PdS/ZnS-CdS.
