Photoreforming can produce H2 through the simultaneous reduction of water and the oxidation of organic molecules, such as those derived from biomass, but cheaper and more active photocatalysts are required. This study shows that CdS/CdOx produces H2 from unprocessed lignocellulose suspensions at high rates under solar illumination.
