Abstract: Pt/CdS catalysts were treated at high temperature in nitrogen gas containing 1.30 g/m3 O2. The surface composition and structure of catalysts were studied by XPS, XRD and TEM. Results show that a regular change in the Pt valence and CdS surface composition takes place with treating time. It is verified that low concentration oxygen has an action of modifying Pt/CdS surface.

Key words: photocatalyst, semiconductor, surface composition, surface modification
