Abstract

Abstract • A novel Z-scheme Si-SnO2-TiOx with SnO2 as electron mediator is first constructed. • Transparent and conductive SnO2 can pass light through and promote charge transport. • VO from SnO2 and TiOx improve photoelectrochemical performances. • Efficient photocatalytic degradations originate from the Z scheme construction. Z-scheme photocatalysts, with strong redox ability, have a great potential for pollutants degradation. However, it is challenging to construct efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts because of their poor interfacial charge separation. Herein, by employing transparent and conductive SnO2 as electron mediator to pass light through and promote interfacial charge transportation, a novel Z-scheme photocatalyst Si-SnO2-TiOx (1
