Hot injection-induced synthesis of ZnCdS–rGO/MoS2 heterostructures for efficient hydrogen production and CO2 photoreduction

Abstract

A highly efficient hybrid ZnCdS–rGO/MoS₂ heterostructure is successfully synthesized through a hot injection method and control loading of rGO/MoS₂. The synergism provides an unprecedently high H₂-generation rate of 193.4 mmol H₂ g⁻¹ h⁻¹ from water under full arc solar radiation and MeOH production (5.26 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹, AQY of 14.6% at λ = 420 ± 20 nm) from CO₂ reduction.
