In this paper, a perfectly matching heterojunction constructed by semiconductors with a continuously changing energy band structure was demonstrated. It was found that migration of indium in layered ZnIn2S4 could be driven from the bulk to the surface under alkaline condition. Based on this, In(OH)3 was in situ grown on the surface of ZnIn2S4, and meanwhile, ZnIn2S4 was converted to ZnmIn2S3+m with m continuously variable. Due to the concentration gradient of indium, the conduction band (CB) of ZnmIn2S3+m/In(OH)3, which was formed by In5s5p orbitals mixed with Zn4s4p orbitals, displays a continuous change that can efficiently promote photogenerated charge separation and transfer.en0169-43322020HeterojunctionIn(OH) 3Photocatalytic H production 2ZnIn S 2 4Journal Article10.1016/j.apsusc.2020.147241Other
