Abstract
Abstract Developing conductor‐mediated S‐scheme heterojunction photocatalysts imitating natural photosynthetic systems emerges as a promising approach to hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) production. However, achieving precise coupling between two semiconductors with a charge shuttle and modulating the interfacial interactions still remain a significant bottleneck. Herein, we propose a catalyst architecture with a Cd single atom mediated S‐scheme heterojunction formed by interfacing CdS and TiO 2 nanoparticles. This catalyst exhibits an H 2 O 2 production rate as high as 60.33 µmol g −1 min −1 under UV–vis light irradiation, which is attributed to the efficient charge transport at the interface of CdS and TiO 2…
