Abstract
Efficient and cost-effective photocatalysts are pivotal for advancing large-scale solar hydrogen generation. Herein, we report a composite photocatalyst by incorporating MoS2 quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) as a cocatalyst into Cs3Bi2I9, resulting in a high enhancement in photocatalytic performance. Remarkably, the optimum MoS2 QDs/Cs3Bi2I9 composite achieves an impressive hydrogen evolution rate (6.09 mmol h-1 g-1) in an ethanol and HI/H3PO2 mixed solution. This rate is 8.8 times higher than pristine Cs3Bi2I9 (0.69 mmol h-1 g-1) and notably surpasses Pt/Cs3Bi2I9 (2.47 mmol h-1 g-1). Moreover, the composite displays exceptional stability during an 18-hour reaction, showcasing its potential for sustainable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
