ABSTRACT
Interfacial regulation is key to photocatalytic performance, yet modulating interfacial charge transfer in heterostructures remains challenging. Herein, a novel nanoflower-like FeP/ZnIn2S4 Ohm heterostructure is first designed, with Zn atoms in ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) acting as potential anchoring sites around P atoms, forming liganded Zn-P bonds. Combining 1D FeP nanowires and 2D ZIS nanosheets enhances the mobility of photogenerated electrons. The synergistic chain-type "electron pickup" mechanism of the Ohm heterojunction coupled with the Zn-P bond speeds up electron transport at the interface. The Ohm heterojunction initiates an internal electric field, creating a driving force to further transfer photogenerated electrons through the Zn-P rapid electron transport channel to FeP, which acts as a reservoir for active sites to release H2. The optimized FeP/ZIS demonstrates a remarkable H2 evolution rate at 4.36 mmol h-1 g-1, 3.6 times that of pristine ZIS. This work provides novel insights into optimizing photocarrier dynamics via interfacial microenvironment modulation.
