Guping Zhang et al.

Summary: Semiconductor photocatalysis is considered as an attractive and eco-friendly technology for addressing global energy shortage and environmental pollution. Zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4) has gained research attention due to its excellent visible light absorption, high chemical durability, and low cost. However, the photocatalytic activity of pristine ZnIn2S4 is limited by its narrow visible light absorption range and fast recombination rate of electrons and holes. Various modification strategies have been developed to enhance the photocatalytic performance of ZnIn2S4 materials. This review summarizes recent progress in the construction of highly active ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts and critically reviews their applications in hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide photoreduction, and water pollution treatment. The current challenges and future prospects for ZnIn2S4 semiconductor photocatalysts are also discussed.
