Mechanistic insights. a In situ ESR spectra for systems containing MoS2 foam/CdS catalyst in methanol aqueous solution in the presence of DMPO (a spin-trapping agent) with or without light irradiation. b Two possible reaction pathways. c Energy profile. The CPET path is favored when the stepwise PT–ET path involves a high-energy intermediate. d Reaction energy profiles via ⋅CH2OH and CH3O⋅ on CdS(100) and rutile TiO2(110)
