Abstract

A hybrid structure constructed by uniformly anchoring crystalline Ni<sub>2</sub>P cocatalyst on 1D CdS nanorods exhibits extraordinarily efficient photocatalytic activity for H<sub>2</sub> evolution in water (rate of 1,200 μmol h<sup>−1</sup> mg<sup>−1</sup> and TOF of 36,400 h<sup>−1</sup> per mol Ni<sub>2</sub>P) under visible light irradiation.
