Interfacial charge transfer on hierarchical synergistic shell wall of MXene/MoS₂ on CdS nanospheres: heterostructure integrity for visible light responsive photocatalytic H₂ evolution.

ABSTRACT: Energy scarcity and environmental pollution have prompted research in hydrogen generation from solar to develop clean energy through highly efficient, effective, and long-lasting photocatalytic systems. Designing a catalyst with robust stability and an effective carrier separation rate was achieved through heterostructure assembly, but certain functionalities must be explored. In this paper we designed a ternary heterostructure assembly of CdS nanospheres wrapped with hierarchical shell walls of layered MXene-tagged MoS₂ nanoflakes, forming intimate interfaces through an in-situ growth process. An in-layered shell wall of MXene with surface-wrapped MoS₂ nanoflakes as a core-shell assembly improved the photo-corrosion resistance and accelerated the production of photoc
