“…The production of hydrogen as a clean fuel using hybrid semiconductors is broadly studied as a potential way to reduce the environmental pollution triggered by fossil fuel combustion. , Photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen generation through the direct conversion of solar energy into hydrogen energy has attracted great attention. , Recently, various types of one-dimensional (1D) metal oxide semiconductors (ZnO, BiVO 4 , TiO 2 , and WO 3 ) have been used for the utilization of hydrogen energy through the PEC method. − Among them, ZnO is a suitable metal oxide semiconductor candidate due to its superior stability and conductivity, but it has limits due to large bandgap and electron–hole recombination . Therefore, coupling of metal oxide with other narrow bandgap chalcogenide semiconductors (CdS, CdSe, and CdTe) could enhance charge generation, reduce the recombination rate, and improve the PEC hydrogen production performance. − Among them, CdSe has received the most attention in the past years due to its narrow bandgap (1.8 eV) and excellent PEC photocurrent density. , However, conventional metal chalcogenides are more difficult to manage in terms of geometrical size and shape than organic compounds . Consequently, a novel class of inorganic–organic hybrid materials formed by fusing an organic component with an inorganic building block has attracted considerable interest. , An innovative organic–inorganic hybrid material shows a significant quantum confinement effect with a precise periodic arrangement but suffers from poor PEC properties due to a wide bandgap .…”
