Abstract

A biomimetic CoPe@CdS/rGO hybrid that self-assembles via the integration of a molecular cobalt catalyst and CdS nano-semiconductor on reduced graphene oxide was constructed for boosting photocatalytic H2 production. Photoinduced electron transfer from CdS/rGO to the molecular catalyst occurs and a long-lived charge-separation state forms for high H2 production.
