We report one-step hydrothermal preparation of ZnS/ZnO hybrid nanowires consisting of well-distributed nanoparticle-heterojunctions that induce high activity for visible-light-driven H2 evolution even without any noble metal co-catalysts. During the growth process, the nanoparticulated ZnS nanowir...
