Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of SnO@ZnInS Composites for Highly Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

This research successfully synthesized SnO@ZnInS composites for photocatalytic tap water splitting using a rapid two-step microwave-assisted synthesis method. This study investigated the impact of incorporating a fixed quantity of SnO nanoparticles and combining them with various materials to form composites, aiming to enhance photocatalytic hydrogen production. Additionally, different weights of SnO nanoparticles were added to the ZnInS reaction precursor to prepare SnO@ZnInS composites for photocatalytic hydrogen production.

Rapid Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of ZnInS Nanosheets for Highly Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.

In this study, a facile and rapid microwave-assisted synthesis method was used to synthesize InS nanosheets, ZnS nanosheets, and ZnInS nanosheets with sulfur vacancies. The two-dimensional semiconductor photocatalysts of ZnInS nanosheets were characterized by XRD, FESEM, BET, TEM, XPS, UV-vis diffuse reflectance, and PL spectroscopy. The ZnInS with sulfur vacancies exhibited an evident energy bandgap value of 2.
