Integration of a metallic interstitial co-catalyst (Ni <sub>3</sub> Mo <sub>3</sub> N) onto CdS nanorods accelerated charge separation and efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
A metallic interstitial compound Ni<sub>3</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>N was synthesized as a co-catalyst modified CdS nanorod for the first time. Photocatalytic studies show that the efficient charge separation and transfer from CdS to Ni<sub>3</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>N enables high visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution at 6.56 mmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>. The Schottky heterojunction between CdS and Ni<sub>3</sub>Mo<sub>3</sub>N might be the key factor for the high photocatalytic activity.
