Heterointerface Engineering of In <sub>2</sub> S <sub>3</sub> /Ag <sub>2</sub> S S‐Scheme Photocatalyst Toward Solar Hydrogen Peroxide Photosynthesis

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) production offers a sustainable alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone process. However, developing efficient semiconductor systems for oxygen reduction to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> remains challenging. Herein, we construct an In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>/Ag<sub>2</sub>S heterostructure via a cation-exchange strategy, achieving atomic-level interfacial modulation that enhances charge separation and boosts H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production. Spectroscopic and radical trapping experiments identify the dominant active species and confirm a favorable two-electron oxygen reduction pathway. The tailored energy band alignment between In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> and Ag<sub>2</sub>S promotes visible-light absorption and facilitates efficient carrier migration, leading to significantly improved photocatalytic performance. This work provides a feasible approach to designing transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs)-based heterostructures for sustainable H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> synthesis and advances solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

Abstract

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) production offers a sustainable alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone process. However, developing efficient semiconductor systems for oxygen reduction to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> remains challenging. Herein, we construct an In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>/Ag<sub>2</sub>S heterostructure via a cation-exchange strategy, achieving atomic-level interfacial modulation that enhances charge separation and boosts H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production. Spectroscopic and radical trapping experiments identify the dominant active species and confirm a favorable two-electron oxygen reduction pathway. The tailored energy band alignment between In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> and Ag<sub>2</sub>S promotes visible-light absorption and facilitates efficient carrier migration, leading to significantly improved photocatalytic performance. This work provides a feasible approach to designing transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs)-based heterostructures for sustainable H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> synthesis and advances solar-to-chemical energy conversion.
