We report a new type of Au@TiO2-CdS ternary nanostructures by decorating CdS nanoparticles onto Au@TiO2 core-shell structures. Comparing to the binary structures, such as CdS-TiO2 and Au@TiO2, these ternary nanostructures exhibit remarkably high photocatalytic H2 generation rate under visible-light...
