The present work reports an effective approach to fabricate highly ordered arrays of ZnO/Si heterostructures decorated with metal sulfides (i.e. ZnS and Ag2S). These metal-sulfide-coated ZnO/Si heterostructure arrays are then used as a photoanode in the photoelectrochemical water splitting system. T...
