FeP as a noble‐metal‐free catalyst has been successfully decorated onto the ZnxCd1−xS photocatalyst surface through an in situ phosphating process. In particular, the 2 % FeP/Zn0.5Cd0.5S−P sample showed the best hydrogen generation activity of 24.45 mmol h−1 g−1 which is over 130 times higher than t...
