Crystal‐Interface‐Mediated Self‐Assembly of ZnIn2S4/CdS S‐scheme Heterojunctions Toward Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production by Dongdong Zhang, Zhiyi Gao, Dongjiang Yang, Lin Wang, Xiangdong Yang, Kai Tang, Hongli Yang, Xiaoqiang Zhan, Zhengjun Wang, Weiyou Yang

“…Based on the theoretical calculation and experimental results, it is verified that the movements of electrons and holes in the opposite direction could be induced by the disparity in the work function and the internal electric field within the interfaces, thus facilitating the construction of S‐scheme heterojunctions, which fundamentally suppresses carrier recombination while minimizing photocorrosion of ZnIn2S4 toward enhanced photocatalytic behaviors.…”
