Abstract

A designed type-II heterojunction photocatalyst, NiSe2/Cd0.5Zn0.5S (NiSe2/CZS), was successfully synthesized and it exhibits outstanding photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. The optimal loading amount of NiSe2 on Cd0.5Zn0.5S is 13 wt %, and the corresponding hydrogen production rate is approximately 121.01 mmol g−1 h−1 under visible light. The heterojunction structure between Cd0.5Zn0.5S and NiSe2 promoted the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, effectively suppressed the photogenerated carrier recombination and endowed the material with excellent interfacial charge transfer properties, thus improving the photocatalytic performance.
