A series of solid solutions of cadmium and manganese sulfides, Cd 1-x Mn x S (x = 0-0.35), and composite photocatalysts, CdS-β-Mn 3 O 4 -MnOOH, were synthesized by precipitation with sodium sulfide from soluble cadmium and manganese salts with further hydrothermal treatment at 120 °C. The obtained photocatalysts were studied by the X-ray diffraction method (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and N 2 low temperature adsorption. The photocatalysts were tested in hydrogen production using a Na 2 S/Na 2 SO 3 aqueous solution under visible light (λ = 450 nm). It was shown for the first time that both kinds of photocatalysts possess high activity in hydrogen evolution under visible light. The solid solution Cd 0.65 Mn 0.35 S has an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to its valence and conduction band position tuning, whereas the CdS-β-Mn 3 O 4 -MnOOH (40-60 at% Mn) samples were active due to ternary heterojunction formation. Further, the composite CdS-β-Mn 3 O 4 -MnOOH photocatalyst had much higher stability in comparison to the Cd 0.65 Mn 0.35 S solid solution. The highest activity was 600 mmol g -1 h -1 , and apparent quantum efficiency of 2.9% (λ = 450 nm) was possessed by the sample of CdS-β-Mn 3 O 4 -MnOOH (40 at% Mn).
