Abstract
and an apparent quantum efficiency of 14.9%, which is 26.7-fold enhanced compared to that of CdS. The synergistic modification strategy concurrently lowers the activation energy barrier for water reduction and establishes EDL-driven directional charge transport channels that boost carrier separation efficiency. This work provides a paradigm for designing high-performance photocatalysts through the rational integration of functional organic groups and cocatalysts, opening new avenues for advanced solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion systems.
