ABSTRACT: The design of green and low-cost Z-scheme heterojunctions with the interfacial electric field (IEF) is of prime importance to their photocatalytic hydrogenation performance and practical application. In this work, we construct a novel Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst comprised of Zn-Ni2P/g-C3N4 nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Experimental results and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the construction of Z-scheme Zn-Ni2P/g-C3N4 heterostructure not only promotes the generation of IEF directing from Zn-Ni2P to g-C3N4, along with work function, accelerating the photogenerated charge separation in Zn-Ni2P/g-C3N4, but als
