MOFs‐Derived Fusiform In2O3 Mesoporous Nanorods Anchored with Ultrafine CdZnS Nanoparticles for Boosting Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract The development of efficient visible‐light‐driven photocatalysts is one of the critically important issues for solar hydrogen production. Herein, high‐efficiency visible‐light‐driven In 2 O 3 /CdZnS hybrid photocatalysts are explored by a facile oil‐bath method, in which ultrafine CdZnS nanoparticles are anchored on NH 2 ‐MIL‐68‐derived fusiform In 2 O 3 mesoporous nanorods. It is disclosed that the as‐prepared In 2 O 3 /CdZnS hybrid photocatalysts exhibit enhanced visible‐light harvesting, improves charges transfer and separation as well as abundant active sites. Correspondingly, their visible‐light‐driven H 2 production rate is significantly enhanced for more than 185 times to that of pristine In 2 O 3 nanorods, and superior to most of In 2 O 3 ‐based photocatalysts ever reported, representing their promising applications in advanced photocatalysts.
