Efficient Visible Light Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution by Boosting the Interfacial Electron Transfer in Mesoporous Mott-Schottky Heterojunctions of Co₂P-Modified CdIn₂S₄ Nanocrystals.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen generation is an appealing means of sustainable solar energy storage. In the past few years, mesoporous semiconductors have been at the forefront of investigations in low-cost chemical fuel production and energy conversion technologies. Mesoporosity combined with the tunable electronic properties of semiconducting nanocrystals offers the desired large accessible surface and electronic connectivity throughout the framework, thus enhancing photocatalytic activity. In this work, we present the construction of rationally designed 3D mesoporous networks of Co₂P-modified CdIn₂S₄ nanoscale crystals (ca. 5-6 nm in size) through an effective soft-templating synthetic route and demonstrate their impressive performance for v
