A novel architecture of CdS/ZnO nanorods with plasmonic silver (Ag) nanoparticles deposited at the interface of ZnO nanorods and CdS nanocrystallites, was designed as a photoanode for solar hydrogen generation, with photocurrent density achieving 4.7 mA/cm² at 1.6 V (vs. RHE), which is 8 and 1.7 times as high as those of pure ZnO and CdS/ZnO nanorod films, respectively. Additionally, with optical absorption onset extended to~660 nm, CdS/Ag/ZnO nanorod film exhibits significantly increased incident photo-to-current efficiency (IPCE) in the whole optical absorption region, reaching 23.1% and 9.8% at 400 nm and 500 nm, respectively. The PEC enhancement can be attributed to the one-dimensional ZnO nanorod structure maintained for superior charge transfer, and the extended visible-light absorption of CdS nanocrystallites. Moreover, the incorporated plasmonic Ag nanoparticles could further promote the interfacial charge carrier transfer process and enhance the optical absorption ability, due to its excellent plasmon resonance effect.
