Enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution by prolonging the lifetime of carriers in ZnO/CdS heterostructures.
Coupled ZnO/CdS heterostructures based on the Z-scheme mechanism are demonstrated to be highly active photocatalysts for H(2) evolution under simulated solar light irradiation due to the greatly prolonged lifetime of photoexcited carriers.
