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.
