Constructed Red Phosphorus/BiVO4 S‐Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Overall Water Splitting

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
An S‐scheme red phosphorus/BiVO4 heterojunction is presented, where red phosphorus served as the water reduction site, and BiVO4 functioned as the water oxidation site. Because it has a built‐in electric field that helps charge transfer and separation, red phosphorus/BiVO4 works very well in the photocatalytic overall water splitting process.
