Abstract: A facile two-step strategy was developed to fabricate yellow fluorescent glutathione-Au nanoclusters/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles (GSH-Au NCs/ZIF-8 NPs) and their derived Au/ZnO NPs, which exhibited visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution together with degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB).
