A leading star in photocatalysis has been revealed as lead-free Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) double halide perovskite nanocrystals, owing to its strong visible light absorption and tunable band gap. In this work, this photocatalytic process was facilitated by a unique TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) composite, which was identified as an S-cheme heterojunction. TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) composite was investigated for its structure and photocatalytic behavior. The results showed that when the perovskite dosage is 40%, the photocatalytic rate of TiO_(2) could be boosted to 0.1369 min^(-1). This paper discusses and proposes the band gap matching, carrier separation, and photocatalytic mechanism of TiO_(2)/Cs_(2)AgBiBr_(6) composites, which will facilitate the generation of new ideas for improving TiO_(2)’s photocatalytic performance.展开更多
