The formation of composites by loading co-catalysts on semiconductor photocatalysts to improve hydrogen (H2) evolution performance is a feasible strategy. Metallic 1T phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as cocatalysts were decorated on zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4) nanoflowers by a grinding method to construct 1T-MoS2@ZnIn2S4 composites. The H2 production rate of 1T-MoS2@ZnIn2S4 composites with optimum 7 wt% 1T-MoS2 loading achieves 15.6 mmol g−1 h−1, 5.5 times higher than ZnIn2S4 nanoflowers. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) increases from 3.1 % (ZnIn2S4 nanoflowers) to 13.0 % (1T-MoS2@ZnIn2S4 composites) under the wavelength light irradiation at λ = 370 nm. The loading of metallic 1T-MoS2 with abundant edge and substrate active sites on ZnIn2S4 can enhance visible light absorption, promote the transfer of electrons, and inhibit carrier recombination, thereby improving photocatalytic performance. This work offers inspiration for the design of composite photocatalysts with efficient photocatalytic capabilities.

金属1T相二硫化钼助催化剂,具有丰富的边缘和基底活性位点,可增强硫化锌铟纳米花的光催化产氢活性
通过在半导体光催化剂上负载助催化剂形成复合材料来提高析氢(H 2)性能是一种可行的策略。采用研磨法将金属1T相二硫化钼(MoS 2 )作为助催化剂修饰在硫化锌铟(ZnIn 2 S 4 )纳米花上构建1T-MoS 2 @ZnIn 2 S 4复合材料。最佳7 wt% 1T-MoS 2负载量的1T-MoS 2 @ZnIn 2 S 4复合材料的H 2产率达到15.6 mmol g -1 h -1,比ZnIn 2 S 4纳米花高5.5倍。在λ = 370 nm波长光照射下,表观量子效率(AQY)从3.1%(ZnIn 2 S 4纳米花)增加到13.0%(1T-MoS 2 @ZnIn 2 S 4复合材料)。在ZnIn 2 S 4上负载具有丰富边缘和基底活性位点的金属1T-MoS 2可以增强可见光吸收,促进电子转移,抑制载流子复合,从而提高光催化性能。这项工作为具有高效光催化能力的复合光催化剂的设计提供了灵感。
