Synthesis of ZnIn₂S₄@Co₃S₄ particles derived from ZIF-67 for photocatalytic hydrogen production.

ABSTRACT: In this work, ZIF-67 derivative Co₃S₄ with diamond dodecahedron structure was firstly synthesized via a series of reactions, and ZnIn₂S₄@Co₃S₄ heterostructures with adjustable band gaps were successfully obtained through a simple hydrothermal method. Consequently, ZnIn₂S₄@Co₃S₄ heterostructures have significantly enhanced visible light absorption and improved photocatalytic efficiency, among which the ZC-5 composite exhibits the highest photocatalytic hydrogen production rate up to 4261 μmol g^-1 h^-1 under simulated sunlight, to be approximately 4.8 times higher than that of pure ZnIn₂S₄. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be
