We　have　developed　a　strategy　to　prevent　the　photo-corrosion　of　cadmium　sulfide　nanorods　(CdSNRs)　by　coating　them　with　cerium　sulfide　(Ce2S3)　as　co-catalyst　and　N-doped　Graphene　(NG)　for　a　solar　light-driven　H2　production　application.　The　uniform　deposition　and　coating　of　Ce2S3　and　NG　over　the　CdSNRs　were　confirmed　by　both　FESEM　and　HRTEM　analyses.　The　incorporation　of　Ce2S3　and　NG　into　CdSNRs　not　only　increased　its　stability　but　also　extended　its　absorption　in　visible　and　NIR　regions.　As　a　result,　the　prepared　CdSNRs/Ce2S3　photocatalysts　produced　∼16,181　µmol　h−1　g–1　of　H2　under　solar　light　irradiation,　which　was　∼　10　times　higher　than　the　pure　CdSNRs.　Interestingly,　N　atom　doped　graphene-supported　CdSNRs/Ce2S3　photocatalysts　has　shown　a　paramount　effect　on　the　H2　production　by　24　times　higher　compared　to　bare　CdSNRs　(35,946　µmol　h−1g–1).　In　addition,　the　NG-CdSNRs/Ce2S3　photocatalysts　exhibited　high　stability　up　to　5　continuous　cycles.　The　high　stability　was　achieved　due　to　the　covering　of　CdSNRs　by　Ce2S3　and　NG,　which　may　effectively　prevent　the　leaching　out　of　S2-　ions　from　CdSNRs.　On　the　other　hand,　the　NG　played　a　dual　role　by　preventing　the　photo-corrosion　and　also　improving　the　charge　carrier　separation　as　evidenced　by　the　PL,　TRPL,　and　Impedance　studies.　The　present　work　may　open　a　new　direction　in　designing　a　highly　photostable　metal　sulfide　photocatalyst　for　energy　conversion　applications　in　aqueous　medium.　©　2023　Elsevier　B.V.
