A type-II semiconductor (ZnO/CuS heterostructure) for visible light photocatalysis

Abstract

Formation of ZnO/CuS heterostructure through a simple wet-chemical method leads to a type-II semiconductor. The heterojunction between these two moieties leads to the separation of electron–hole pairs, which further enhances the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO.
