The development of photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution is a promising alternative to industrial hydrogen evolution; however, generation of high active, recyclable, inexpensive heterojunctions are still challenging. Herein, a novel strategy was developed to synthesize non-noble metal co-catalyst/solid solution heterojunctions using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a precursor template. By adjusting the content of MOFs, a series of Cu_1.8S/Zn_xCd_1-xS heterojunctions were obtained, and the Cu_1.8S(3.7%)/Zn_0.35Cd_0.65S sample exhibits a maximum hydrogen evolution rate of 14.27 mmol h^-1 g^-1 with an apparent quantum yield of 3.7% at 420 nm under visible-light irradiation. Subsequently, the relationship between the heterojunction and photocatalytic activity were investigated by detailed characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which reveal that loading Cu_1.8S can efficiently extend the light absorption, meanwhile, the electrons can efficiently transfer from Zn_0.35Cd_0.65S to Cu_1.8S, thus resulting more photogenerated electrons participating in surface reactions. This result can be valuable inspirations for the exploitation of advanced materials using rationally designed nanostructures for solar energy conversion.
