A high-efficiency and easy-available approach was developed to obtain a ternary heterojunction composites with advanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance under visible light by water split. PdAg bimetallic nanoparticles make a close contact interface between g-C3N4(CN) and Zn0.5Cd0.5S(ZCS). Under visible light irradiation, CN and ZCS are both excited to generate electron-hole pairs, PdAg bimetallic nanoparticles act as a bridge between CN and ZCS. Not only can the photogenerated electrons from CN be captured, but they can also be quickly transferred to the surface of ZCS and participate in the photocatalytic reaction to release H-2, and the recombination of charge carriers between the contact interface of ZCS and CN can be significantly inhibited. In addition, the thin CN layer reduces the photocorrosion of the ZCS and enhances the specific surface area of the composite material. After testing, the composite material with 30 wt% ZCS and 4 wt% PdAg demonstrates hydrogen evolution performance, up to 6250.7 mu mol g(-1)h(-1), which is 753 times the hydrogen evolution rate of single-component CN and 12.6 times of ZCS/CN. Compared with single-component and two-component photocatalysts, the ternary ZCS/PdAg/CN photocatalyst achieves significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity.
