To maximize the phocatalytic activity, semiconductor-based catalysts need to be properly modified in various methods. Here, a feasible synergistic strategy is proposed for enhancing the photocatalytic property. We firstly combine 2D ZnInS4–S nanosheets with amorphous CoB nanoparticles to obtain hybr...
