NiS2 nanoparticles as noble metal-free co-catalyst were deposited onto the CdLa2S4 photocatalyst through a hydrothermal process. The loading of NiS2 co-catalyst resulted in remarkable enhancement for H2 production over the CdLa2S4 photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. The optimal hybrid pho...
