Fast recombination of photogenerated charge carriers is a major problem in the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic processes. In this work, we report significantly improved PEC performance of a nanocomposite consists of In 2 S 3 nanoparticles dispersed on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets synthesized by a si...
