Step-scheme (S-scheme) photocatalysts have received much attention owing to the enhanced photocatalytic redox ability. However, the carrier transport driven only by the interfacial electric field of the S-scheme heterojunction is not efficient enough to satisfy the highly active CO2 reduction. In th...
