Abstract

Nanoporous Co-doped Zn_1−xCd_xS were facilely fabricated via adopting ZIFs as templates, and Cd(NO₃)₂ and thiourea as precursors. The highly porous microstructure and uniform Co-doping of the photocatalyst afford a high H₂-production rate (45.2 and 422.2 times larger than those of Zn_0.5Cd_0.5S and CdS), providing an effective way for the development of high performance nanoporous photocatalysts.
