Abstract:
Highlights•Band gap of AgInS2 is calculated accurately based on B3LYP hybrid functional.•AgInS2 has strong oxidation and reduction ability under visible light irradiation.•The distortion of AgS4, InS4 tetrahedra promotes the separation of electron–hole pairs.•The lighter effective masses facilitate the migration of photogenerated carriers.
