Description A generic modular synthetic strategy for the fabrication of a series of binary-ternary group II-VI and group I-III-VI coupled semiconductor nano-heterostructures is reported. Using Ag2Se nanocrystals first as a catalyst and then as sacrificial seeds, four dual semiconductor heterostructures were designed with similar shapes: CdSe-AgInSe2, CdSe-AgGaSe2, ZnSe-AgInSe2, and ZnSe-AgGaSe2. Among these, dispersive type-II heterostructures are further explored for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water and these are observed to be superior catalysts than the binary or ternary semi-conductors. Details of the chemistry of this modular synthesis have been studied and the photophysical processes involved in catalysis are investigated.
