摘要

Artificial photosynthesis for hydrogen evolution coupled with benzyl alcohol photoreforming faces efficiency challenges due to insufficient charge directional transfer. Here, we report a synergistic strategy integrating the polarization electric field from asymmetric Zn3In4S9 and the interface dipole field induced by MoS2 to drive fast charge dynamics. The optimized 6%-MoS2/Zn3In4S9 exhibits notable photocatalytic performance, generating 41.19 mmol g-1 h-1 of hydrogen and 43.33 mmol g-1 h-1 of benzaldehyde, which is 11.8 to 12.2 times higher than that of Zn3In4S9. Notably, apparent quantum yields reach 36.6% ± 0.7% for hydrogen and 40.0% ± 0.3% for benzaldehyde (3 times), while retaining 93.8% and 87% of initial activity after 30 hours, demonstrating high stability. In this work, we reveal that the intrinsic dipole of Zn3In4S9 generates a polarization electric field, suppressing bulk charge recombination. Concurrently, the MoS2-induced interface dipole field creates a fast electron transport pathway from Zn3In4S9 to MoS2.
