A MOF-derived hierarchical CoP@ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst for visible light-driven hydrogen evolution

A hierarchical CoP@ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst was prepared via a MOF-templated strategy. Owing to the unique composition and morphology that can facilitate the separation of photoexcited carriers, enhance light absorption and provide high surface area, CoP@ZnIn2S4 exhibited a H-2 evolution rate of 0.103 mmol h(-1) and remained stable over 24 hours.

Automated summary

A hierarchical CoP@ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst prepared using a MOF-templated strategy exhibited excellent stability and a high H-2 evolution rate of 0.103 mmol h(-1) due to its unique composition and morphology, which facilitate carrier separation, enhance light absorption, and provide a high surface area.
