Abstract: Cu-Graphdiyne and CoNiWO₄ were synthesized by organic and hydrothermal methods, respectively. The establishment of an S-scheme heterojunction between Cu-Graphdiyne and CoNiWO₄ was achieved by interface engineering design. The efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers are facilitated by the synergistic effect of the built-in electric field and band bending, while maintaining the strong redox capacity of the catalysts. The introduction of Cu-Graphdiyne effectively enhances the photo absorption capacity and conductivity of the composite catalyst, and significantly suppresses the recombination of photogenerated carriers. The unique two-dimensional planar network structure of Cu-Graphdiyne provides abundant active sites for photocatalytic processes, thereby facilitating the photocatalytic reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that hot electrons generated by surface plasmon resonance effects of Cu will transfer to Graphdiyne to promote hydrogen evolution reaction. This study offers insights into potential applications of Cu-Graphdiyne and nickel-cobalt based catalysts in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
