Self-Assembled ZnIn0.16Ag2xS1.24+x (x = 0–0.025) Nanospheres by a Simple Hydrothermal Method as Visible Light-Driven Photocatalysts

A single-step and facile hydrothermal route has been developed for the fabrication of ZnIn 0.16 Ag 2 x S 1.24+ x ( x  = 0–0.025) nanospheres. The photocatalytic activities of the products for the H 2 evolution from aqueous solutions containing sacrificial reagents, SO 3 2− and S 2− , were investigat...

Description
Summary:A single-step and facile hydrothermal route has been developed for the fabrication of ZnIn 0.16 Ag 2 x S 1.24+ x ( x  = 0–0.025) nanospheres. The photocatalytic activities of the products for the H 2 evolution from aqueous solutions containing sacrificial reagents, SO 3 2− and S 2− , were investigated under visible-light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). It was found that the photocatalysts showed high photocatalytic activities even without Pt co-catalysts.
