• surface might be increased via photoreduction during the reaction. As a result, the photocatalytic activity of the Ag(0.01)-doped Cd0.1Zn0.9S sample increased within the reaction time. The average hydrogen production rate from both runs was determined to be 3.91 mmol/h and the value was 1.7 times better
