Cooperative coupling of H2 evolution with oxidative organic synthesis is promising in avoiding the use sacrificial agents and producing hydrogen energy value-added chemicals simultaneously. Nonetheless, photocatalytic activity obstructed by sluggish electron-hole separation limited redox potentials. Herein, Ni-doped Zn0.2 Cd0.8 S quantum dots are chosen after screening DFT simulation to couple TiO2 microspheres, forming a step-scheme heterojunction. The configuration tunes highly active site for augmented evolution, interfacial Ni-O bonds provide fast channels at atomic level lower barrier charge transfer. Also, calculations reveal an enhanced built-in electric field heterojunction superior migration separation. Kinetic analysis femtosecond transient absorption spectra demonstrates that expedited electrons first transfer Ni2+ then sites. Therefore, designed catalyst delivers drastically elevated yield (4.55 mmol g-1 h-1 ) N-benzylidenebenzylamine production rate (3.35 ). This work provides atomic-scale insights into coordinated modulation sites fields ameliorative performance.
