Nanoscale heterodimensional ZnO/MoS 2 visible‐light responsive photocatalysts for environmental remediation are reported. Quasi 0D ZnO nanoparticles were employed as co‐catalysts for atomically thin molybdenum disulfide 2D nanosheets to enhance photocatalytic performance. The facile full solution‐process synthesis is inexpensive and carried out at low temperature. The strengthened photodegradation is attributed to a few advantageous factors associated with synergetic effects. A model for photocatalytic degradation mechanism was proposed and examined by scavenger tests. More information can be found in the Full Paper by D.‐R. Hang et al. on page 9305.
