A facile, low-temperature synthesis approach is reported to fabricate hierarchical CdS-1D ZnO nanorod arrays-2D graphene (GR) hybrids in a finely tailored manner in pursuit of the integration of the fast electron transport of 1D ZnO, the excellent electronic conductivity of 2D graphene and the desirable visible-light absorption of CdS to efficiently harvest visible light and boost the separation and transfer of the photogenerated charge carriers for specific photocatalytic applications.
