[Display omitted] •Ternary dual-cocatalyst NiS/CDs/CdS photocatalysts were rationally designed and synthesized.•Formation of internal p-n junction between NiS and CdS in hybrids account for the superior charge separation.•The CDs act as electron reservoirs to accelerate photoinduced electrons extrac...
