Although conventional metal oxide photoanodes such as TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    have been extensively studied, their light absorption is confined mainly to the ultraviolet region. AgBiS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    nanocrystals have emerged as a promising alternative due to their low toxicity and broad visible\u2010to\u2010near\u2010infrared absorption. However, their narrow bandgap leads to severe charge recombination, thereby limiting photocurrent generation. Here, we report a TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2013AgBiS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    heterostructure photoanode fabricated by an aqueous electrophoretic deposition method (EPD).

The heterostructure combines the efficient charge transport of TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    with the strong light\u2010harvesting capability of AgBiS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , promoting charge separation and suppressing nonradiative recombination. Under AM 1.5G one\u2010sun illumination, the TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2013AgBiS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    photoanode delivers a photocurrent density of 3.0 mA cm\n                    <jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>\n                    at 0.6 V vs. RHE, with improved stability and performance compared with conventional oleic acid\u2010capped AgBiS\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    prepared by high\u2010voltage methods.
