Emerging S-Scheme Photocatalyst

Liuyang Zhang et al.

Summary: This article presents the superiority and design criteria of the emerging S-scheme heterojunction in photocatalysis. By overcoming the challenges faced by single photocatalysts through the construction of heterojunctions, the S-scheme heterojunction has demonstrated its potential in improving photocatalysis. The critical understanding of the curved Fermi level in the S-scheme heterojunction interface and the current challenges and prospects of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts are also discussed.

Site-Specific Electron-Driving Observations of CO2-to-CH4 Photoreduction on Co-Doped CeO2/Crystalline Carbon Nitride S-Scheme Heterojunctions

Lei Cheng et al.

Summary: This study reports a method of controlling directional charge transfer by embedding single-atomic Co into CeO2 catalyst to achieve selective CO2 photoreduction to CH4. The results show that Co embedded into CeO2 catalyst can accelerate the transfer of electrons from carbon nitride to specific Co sites, thereby promoting CH4 formation. This method achieves high yield and high turnover number of CH4 production without the need for any sacrificial agent.

The charge transfer feature and high photocatalytic activity of S-scheme TiO2/h-BN heterostructure from first-principles

Dongxiang Li et al.

Summary: This study systematically explores the photogenerated carrier transfer and photocatalytic properties of TiO2/h-BN heterostructure using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the heterojunction structure composed of TiO2 (100) surface and h-BN monolayer is stable. The TiO2/h-BN heterostructure is classified as an S-scheme photocatalyst with strong redox ability. The heterostructure construction results in strong interlayer interaction, built-in electric field, and band bending, leading to recombination (separation) of electron hole pairs with weak (strong) redox ability at the interface. The TiO2/h-BN heterostructure can carry out spontaneous photoelectrochemical water splitting processes under light irradiation and different pH values. Additionally, the band gap of TiO2/h-BN heterostructure remains almost unchanged under biaxial strain, demonstrating its strain resistance.
