Two-dimensional (2D) ZnS-SnS2 porous nanosheets are designed as clean and low cost photocatalysts for water splitting. The composites successfully combine high photoelectron reduction potential of ZnS with the sufficient sunlight harvesting ability of SnS2. Moreover, SnS2 acts as an effective electron transfer medium from ZnS to SnS2 due to the construction of quasi-type II structure. This greatly promotes the transfer of electron-hole pairs and effectively inhibits their recombination. Especially, the unique porous nanosheets structure maintains them high specific surface area and countless reactive sites, which increases the reactants' contact area and facilitates the migration of carriers upon photocatalysis. This further suppresses the charge recombination and improves the photocatalysts' stability. As a result, an optimized specific surface area of 246.7 m(2) g(-1) and photocatalytic H-2 generation rate of 536 mu mol h(-1) g(-1) are achieved in the absence of a surfactant and co-catalyst, which is 10 times higher than ZnS and 17 times higher than SnS2. In addition, the porous nanosheets have fairly good photocatalytic stability and can be reused at least five cycles without obvious changes in activity and structure. This work successfully presents the potential of ZnS and SnS2-based photocatalyst for clean and low cost hydrogen production from water splitting. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
