A novel efficient Cu2WS4/MoS2 step-scheme(S-scheme)heterojunction photocatalyst was constructed for the first time and applied in the removal of environ-mental pollutants.Among the as-prepared photocatalysts,the Cu2WS4/MoS2-8%heterojunction photocatalyst demonstrates the optimal photocatalytic performance,with the catalytic oxidation efficiency of tetracycline(TC)and the catalytic reduction efficiency of Cr6+reaching 93.3%and 82.1%,respectively.The excellent catalytic properties of Cu2WS4/MoS2 heterojunction photocatalysts are attrib-uted to the effective separation pathways of charges and the presence of S-scheme heterojunctions,together with stronger redox capabilities.It is speculated that the pho-togenerated carrier migration path of the Cu2WS4/MoS2 catalyst follows the typical S-scheme photocatalytic mechanism,which is verified by the in-depth experimental study and simulated calculations including the electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)analysis,free radical quenching experiments,charge density distribution,and simulated built-in electric field formation at the interface,which acts as driving force to promote the separation of photoinduced electrons and holes.Finally,the photocat-alytic mechanism of S-scheme photogenerated carrier migration for the Cu2WS4/MoS2 catalyst is revealed based on the systematic experimental techniques and simulated calculations,accounting for its superior photocatalytic oxidation and reduction activities.This study provides inspiring implications to develop high-efficient S-scheme photocatalytic systems for versatile applications in solar-energy conversion.
