Abstract

1D-MoS₂ nanorods/LiNb₃O₈ (NR/LNO) heterostructure was constructed by directly growing MoS₂ nanorods co-catalysts at the junction site of LNO particles for the photocatalytic H₂ production. The optimal loading amount of MoS₂ nanorods was 1 wt%, where it exhibited three times faster H₂ production rate than that of pure LNO, even better than that of heterostructure with 2D MoS₂ nanosheets co-catalyst. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of NR/LNO heterostructure is attributed to an intimate junction between LNO and MoS₂ nanorods that could facilitate the electron separation and transfer. This finding opens a new avenue for the photocatalytic application of 1D MoS₂ co-catalyst in heterostructures.
