In this work, MnCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>/CdS type-I nanorod heterojunctions were successfullynconstructed, and the stability of the structure and photocatalyticnperformance of the composites were significantly improved by the timelyntransfer of photogenerated holes on the valence band and photogeneratednelectrons on the conduction band of CdS through the discontinuousnMnCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> grown outside the nanorods. The photocatalyticnhydrogen production of 5% loaded MnCo<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub>/CdSnunder visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) can reach 12 mmol·g<sup>–1</sup>·h<sup>–1</sup>, which is 42 times morenefficient than the hydrogen production of pure CdS nanorods in thenpresence of Na<sub>2</sub>S and Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>3</sub> as holenscavengers. In addition, the apparent quantum efficiency of the compositencatalyst with the best hydrogen evolution activity can reach 11.73%.nThe construction of type-I semiconductor heterojunctions in this studynoffers valuable guidance for the preparation of CdS photocatalystsnthat exhibit superior stability and photocatalytic efficiency.","PeriodicalId":521662,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
