Abstract

Abstract Crafting semiconducting heterojunctions represents an effective route to enhance photocatalysis by improving interfacial charge separation and transport. However, lattice mismatch ( δ ) between different semiconductors can significantly hinder charge dynamics. Here, meticulous lattice tailoring is reported to create a covalent heterointerface with a built‐in electric field (BIEF), imparting markedly improved hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) photosynthesis. Specifically, an In 2 S 3 /CdS heterojunction with a coherent heterointerface, characterized by covalent In─S─Cd bridge and exceptionally low lattice mismatch of 0.27%, and a BIEF from In 2 S 3 to CdS, is rationally designed. This heterojunction entails…
