Published: December 2012

NaInS(2) , a H(2) -evolving photocatalyst, is synthesized as single-crystalline hexagonal plates by coupling a molten salt synthesis with ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) for the first time. USP NaInS(2) films are used as a new photoanode material and have an initial photocurrent of ≈37 μA/cm(2) upon illumination and activities 25 times greater than films made from a standard non-aerosol NaInS(2) sample.
