Abstract

2D MoS2 nanosheets have been utilized to fabricate 2D MoS 2/CdS p-n nanohybrids through a one-pot solvothermal process. Due to the unique p-n junction heterostructure, large specific surface area, and decreased band gap, MoS2/CdS nanohybrids manifested a superior H 2-production rate of ∼137 μmol-h-1 under visible-light irradiation and an apparent quantum yield of 10.5-% at 450 nm. Photocatalysis: 2D MoS2/CdS p-n nanohybrids are constructed by a one-pot solvothermal method. Due to the unique p-n junction heterostructure, large specific surface area, and decreased band gap, MoS2/CdS p-n nanohybrids provide an excellent H2-evolution rate of 137 μmol-h-1 under visible-light irradiation and an apparent quantum yield of 10.5-% at 450 nm (see figure).
