ABSTRACT
These works validate the efficacy
of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts in integrating H2 generation and organic synthesis. Meanwhile, the synergetic employment of
various in situ characterization methods in the exploration of S-scheme
photocatalytic mechanism is exemplified. The development of versatile heterojunction
photocatalysts will be inaugurated. In future works, S-scheme photocatalysts
are expected to achieve more combination of various redox reactions, such as H2O2 production coupled with organic synthesis, and Cr(VI) reduction hybridized with
pollutant degradation. Besides, employing cocatalysts to decorate S-scheme
heterojunctions can further boost the photocatalytic activity by accelerating
charge separation and facilitating molecule adsorption.
