Finding effective strategies to design efficient photocatalysts and decompose refractory organic compounds in wastewater is a challenging problem. Herein, by coupling element doping and constructing heterostructures, S-scheme CdS QDs/La-BiWO (CS/LBWO) photocatalysts are designed and synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. As a result, the RhB degradation efficiency of the optimized 5% CS/LBWO reached 99% within 70 min of illumination with excellent stability and recyclability. CS/LBWO shows improvement in the adsorption range of visible light and promotes electron-hole pair generation/migration/separation, attributing the superior degradation performance. The degradation RhB mechanism is proposed by a free radical capture experiment, electron paramagnetic resonance, and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry results, indicating that h and •O play a significant role during four degradation processes: de-ethylation, chromophore cleavage, ring opening, and mineralization. Based on in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Mulliken electronegativity theory, and the work function results, the S-scheme heterojunction of CS/LBWO promotes the transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and promotes the generation of reactive radicals. This work not only reports that 5% CS/LBWO is a promising photocatalyst for degradation experiments but also provides an approach to design advanced photocatalysts by coupling element doping and constructing heterostructures.

To alleviate situation caused by azo dyestuff and antibiotics, a series of CdS/sulfur doped carbon nitride (GCNS) S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts have been successfully fabricated by a pretty facile solid-state diffusion (SSD) method,. Under visible light, the optimal sample called CdS/GCNS-1:2 presented the best photodegradation rate of nearly 100% over methyl orange (MO), of which the reaction constant k was about 9.67 and 5.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) based heterojunctions, including type-II, Z-scheme, and S-scheme systems emerged as promising materials for augmenting photocatalytic hydrogen (H) generation from water splitting. This review offers an exclusive highlight of their fundamental principles, synthesis routes, charge transfer mechanisms, and performance properties in improving H production. We overview the crucial roles of Type-II heterojunctions in enhancing charge separation, Z-scheme heterojunctions in promoting redox potentials to reduce electron-hole (e/h) pairs recombination, and S-scheme heterojunctions in combining the merits of both type-II and Z-scheme frameworks to obtain highly efficient H production.

Article Synopsis
- - A novel heterojunction made of BiMoO/CdS with Ni nanoparticles was created using a solvothermal method and showed significant photocatalytic activity in degrading 2-aminophenol, outperforming individual metal components by 26 and 16 times.
- - The efficiency of this heterojunction is attributed to a unique S-scheme which enhances the separation of charge carriers, with Ni nanoparticles preventing electron backflow through a Mott Schottky barrier, allowing for a more effective flow in photocatalytic processes.
- - The structure's 2D-2D morphology increases surface area for better light absorption and reactivity, and its stability over multiple cycles indicates good potential for practical applications and recycling.

S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst-coupled plasma-resonance effect can enhance the response range and absorption of light and charge transfer, and, at the same time, obtain strong redox ability, which is an effective way to improve CO conversion. In this work, plasma S-scheme heterojunctions of Pd/BiOBr/CdS with heterogeneous interfaces have been successfully constructed by a simple hydrothermal method. The possible reaction mechanism was proposed by in situ infrared, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR), density functional theory (DFT), and electrochemical techniques.

The research in the field of photocatalysis has progressed, with the development of heterojunctions being recognized as an effective method to improve carrier separation efficiency in light-induced processes. In this particular study, CuCoS particles were attached to a new cubic CdS surface to create an S-scheme heterojunction, thus successfully addressing this issue. Specifically, owing to the higher conduction band and Fermi level of CuCoS compared to CdS, they serve as the foundation and driving force for the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction.
