Ni loaded SnS2 hexagonal nanosheets for photocatalytic hydrogen generation via water splitting

“…For having higher photocatalytic performance, the semiconductor catalyst must have an optimum bandgap, optimum energy positions, and chemical as well as biologically stable nature. 14–20 Over the last two-three decades, the use of nanostructured semiconductor materials especially TiO 2 , ZnO, SnO 2 , ZnS, SnS 2 , MoS 2 , CdS, CeO 2 , Ta 2 O 5 , Nb 2 O 5 , SrTiO 3 , etc. has been used as a potential photocatalyst.…”
