Oxysulfides, which exhibit intense visible light absorption and high photocatalytic activity during hydrogen evolution, are promising photocatalysts for Z-scheme water splitting. However, the realization of efficient Z-scheme water splitting using oxysulfides as hydrogen evolution photocatalysts (HEPs) has been hampered by backward reactions involving reversible redox couples, the low efficiency of interparticle electron transfer, and a lack of knowledge regarding the means of promoting hydrogen evolution activity under nonsacrificial conditions. In this study, La5Ti2CuS5O7 was found to realize water splitting without any redox mediator by constructing Z-scheme-type photocatalyst sheets with BiVO4 as the oxygen evolution photocatalyst. It is also demonstrated that p-type doping and the formation of a La5Ti2Cu0.9Ag0.1S5O7 solid solution effectively enhance the water-splitting activity of the photocatalyst sheet. An apparent quantum yield of 4.9% at 420 nm and a solar to hydrogen energy conversion efficiency of 0.11% were obtained, both of which are among the highest values reported for water-splitting systems employing a particulate photocatalyst absorbing visible light up to ca. 700 nm. This work shows the potential for oxysulfides to serve as HEPs for Z-scheme water splitting and provides insights toward the development of efficient photocatalyst sheets.
