Abstract The present work made a successful attempt at synthesizing a Mo2C-modified ZnCdS composite photocatalytic material an in-situ deposition method. It carried out composition, structure, and property characterization, as well as photocatalytic hydrogen production test on the synthesized composite catalyst. The Mo2C/ZnCdS was found to grow in situ on the surface of Mo2C particles and formed a Schottky junction, and to exhibit a hydrogen production rate of 5.26 mmol·g-1·h-1, approximately 335% higher than that of ZnCdS. This work also gave a hypothesized photocatalysis mechanism of the Mo2C/ZnCdS for hydrogen evolution:(ⅰ) Mo2C, as a cocatalyst, had metal-like properties and high surface work function, which facilitated the formation of the internal electric field from ZnCdS to Mo2C at their interface;(ⅱ) this internal electric field accelerated the transfer rate of electrons and the electrons enriched on the surface of Mo2C, thus greatly increasing the photogenerated charge separation efficiency;(ⅲ) Mo2C acted as the active site of photocatalytic reaction (owing to its low hydrogen evolution overpotential), and further promotes the photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency.
