Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising strategy to convert solar energy into hydrogen fuel. However, the poor bulk charge-separation ability and slow surface oxygen evolution reaction (OER) dynamics of photoelectrodes impede the performance. We construct In- and Zn/In-doped SnS2 nanosheet arrays through a hydrothermal method. The doping induces the simultaneous formation of an amorphous layer, S vacancies, and a gradient energy band. This leads to elevated carrier concentrations, an increased number of surface-reaction sites, accelerated surface-OER kinetics, and an enhanced bulk-carrier separation efficiency with a decreased recombination rate. This efficient doping strategy allows to manipulate the morphology, crystallinity, and band structure of photoelectrodes for an improved PEC performance.
