Key Points

To investigate whether integrating a metallic interstitial Ni3Mo3N co-catalyst onto CdS nanorods accelerates charge separation and enhances photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
Synthesized CdS nanorods coupled with metallic interstitial Ni3Mo3N co-catalyst nanoparticles.
Characterized the interfacial heterojunction formation and assessed photocatalytic performance during hydrogen evolution reactions.
Demonstrated that a Schottky heterojunction is established between CdS and Ni3Mo3N.
Identified the Schottky heterojunction interface as the key driver of accelerated charge separation and elevated photocatalytic activity.

Experimental study demonstrates enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in a Ni3Mo3N-CdS system, indicating accelerated charge separation.

The Schottky heterojunction between CdS and Ni 3 Mo 3 N might be the key factor for the high photocatalytic activity.
