A series of Pd-modified sulphide photocatalysts (ZnS-Pd X %, In 2 S 3 -Pd X % and CuS-Pd X %) for the photoreduction of CO 2 were synthesised via a simple hydrothermal method. Here, the introduction of the -S-Pd-S- surface species onto the surface of the sulphides extended the visible light absorpti...
