Te/ZnIn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> nanoleaves with rich charge transport and high electron–hole separation efficiency for augmented visible-light-mediated hydrogen peroxide generation
Designing efficient photocatalysts for H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> synthesis in pure water remains a significant challenge. Herein, Te/ZnIn<sub>2</sub>S<sub>4</sub> nanoleaves were constructed <i>via</i> an epitaxial growth strategy using Te nanowires (NWs) as seeds. Experimental results and series <i>in situ</i> spectroscopic characterization unveiled that the Te NWs serve as branches, enable rapid charge transport and promote effective separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, resulting in efficient visible-light-driven H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production with a high yield of 1920 μmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>.
