• Charge transfer dynamics S-scheme photocatalyst is revealed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. • Ni doping regulates the S active site and enhances the interfacial built-in electric field. • Ni doping and S-scheme mechanism contribute to promoting electron transfer. • S-scheme heterojunction facilitates interfacial electron transfer and accelerates hole consumption. An emerging S-scheme photocatalyst consisting of Ni-doped Zn 0.2 Cd 0.8 S quantum dots and TiO 2 microspheres has been reported to show excellent H 2 production performance and high benzylidene benzylamine evolution efficiency. To monitor the charge transfer dynamics in this S-scheme heterojunction, femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy measurements are conducted. The charge transfer kinetic analysis confirms that S-scheme heterojunction promotes interfacial electron transfer and accelerates hole consumption. This work provides an in-depth explanation for the enhanced photocatalytic performance of S-scheme photocatalysts from the perspective of charge dynamics. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
