Fabricating 1D/2D Co3O4/ZnIn2S4 core-shell heterostructures with boosted charge transfer for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Yibo Zhang et al.

Summary: Multidimensional hierarchical hollow Co3O4/ZnIn2S4 tubular core-shell heterostructures were prepared by growing ultrathin 2D ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on 1D hollow Co3O4 nanotubes using a solvothermal method. This design not only prevents the self-assembly aggregation of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets, but also broadens their light-absorption range and enhances the utilization of visible light. The p-n heterojunction in the photocatalyst generates an internal electric field, which facilitates the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers and effectively suppresses their recombination.
