Abstract: The photocatalytic dehydrogenation of aqueous solution of ethanol on two types of CdSsupports with different crystal structures modified by either the chemically deposited Pd or mechanically mixed Pt was investigated.The crystal structural morphology of the CdSsemiconductor powders was determined by TEMand XRD.The relationship between the CdScrystal structural morphology and the dehydrogenation behavior of the catalysts was illustrated and the fact that the photocatalytic dehydrogenation of aqueous solution of ethanol is quite sensitive to the crystal structural morphology of catalyst support was confirmed.
