Corn-like ZnO/Ag2S heterojunctions are designed and prepared by the solvothermal method and the subsequent covering process. They construct a type II core-shell heterojunction structure. This structure adjusts the relative positions of electron energy levels and generates a strong and broad absorption band, while emitting weak visible light.

Low dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) have become one of the most promising materials in solar cells, photodetectors, and lasers due to their low exciton binding energy, high bipolar carrier mobility, and long carrier lifetime. The effective separation and collection of photo-generated electrons and holes have always been crucial for a perovskite as a working medium for optoelectronic devices. However, the surface state of pristine perovskite nanowires causes recombination of electrons and holes at the edge of the energy band, leading to deactivation of charge carriers.

The InP-based quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention in the field of photocatalytic H evolution. However, a shell should be used for InP-based photocatalytic systems to passivate the numerous surface defects. Different from the traditional InP-based core/shell QDs with Type-I or Type-II band alignment, herein, the "reverse Type-II" core/shell QDs in which both the conduction and valence bands of shell materials are more negative than those of core materials have been well-designed by regulating the ratio of Cd/Zn of the alloyed ZnCdS shell.

While two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)-based photodetectors offer prospects for high integration density and flexibility, their thinness poses a challenge regarding low light absorption, impacting photodetection sensitivity. Although the integration of TMDCs with metal halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) has been known to be promising for photodetection with a high absorption coefficient of PNCs, the low charge mobility of PNCs delays efficient photocarrier injection into TMDCs. In this study, we integrated MoS with in situ formed core/shell PNCs with short ligands that minimize surface defects and enhance photocarrier injection.
