Construction of two-dimensional MoS₂/CdS p-n nanohybrids for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

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.
