Abstract

Two-dimensional/two-dimensional (2D/2D) S-scheme heterojunctions have emerged as promising photocatalytic platforms due to their intimate face-to-face interfaces, large specific surface areas, shortened charge-migration pathways, and strong interfacial built-in electric fields. The S-scheme charge-transfer mechanism selectively recombines low-energy carriers while preserving highly reductive electrons and strongly oxidative holes, enabling efficient charge separation without compromising redox capability. This review summarizes recent progress in 2D/2D S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts, focusing on charge-transfer mechanisms, band-alignment requirements, structural merits, and design principles. Representative construction strategies—including mixing-assisted assembly, surface chemical regulation, and in situ growth—are discussed, along with key characterization techniques for probing interfacial structures and validating S-scheme charge transfer, such as electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, in situ irradiated XPS, transient spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. We further review recent modification strategies—including multidimensional heterointerface construction, interfacial bonding, elemental doping, defect engineering, cocatalyst engineering, single-atom regulation, interfacial strain and facet engineering—in terms of their effects on charge separation, redox activity, and surface reaction kinetics. Finally, applications in H₂ evolution, CO₂ reduction, pollutant degradation, and H₂O₂ production are summarized, and key challenges as well as future design directions are outlined.
