[Display omitted] •CdS was deposited on HCNS to fabricate inorganic-polymeric heterojunctions.•The heterojunctions on the hollow polymer surface facilitate charge separation.•This CdS-HCNS efficiently catalyzes H2 evolution with visible light. Inorganic quantum dots (QDs) have been introduced onto t...
