Abstract
Photocatalysis is a promising solution to global energy shortage and environmental problems. Inspired by photosynthesis, multicomponent heterostructured photocatalysts are extensively investigated, and step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction has emerged as the theoretical basis for delineating charge transfer processes in predominant heterostructured photocatalysts. However, the specific charge transfer pathway across an S-scheme heterojunction remains elusive from an atomic/molecular perspective. Herein, it is demonstrated that in S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts composed of imine-based covalent organic frameworks and nanostructured zinc oxide, interfacial Zn─N bonds are formed between the two components…
