Engineering an Interfacial Facet of S-Scheme Heterojunction for Improved Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution by Modulating the Internal Electric Field

Yamin Xi et al.

Summary: Constructing a step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction is a promising route to improve photocatalytic activities by manipulating charge transfer and separation, with interfacial facet engineering playing a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of separation behaviors for powerful redox reactions. The directionality of migration and recombination of charge carriers is greatly accelerated by a stronger built-in electric field and band bending around the interface, leading to more efficient spatial separation for participating in overall redox reactions. It demonstrates significant superiority in photocatalytic H-2 evolution and provides new insights into the rational construction of S-scheme photocatalysts based on interfacial facet design and internal electric field regulation.
