Description
Summary:Photocatalysis is a potential strategy to solve energy and environmental problems. The development of new sustainable photocatalysts is a current topic in the field of photocatalysis. ZnIn 2 S 4 , a visible light-responsive photocatalyst, has attracted extensive research interest in recent years. Due to its suitable band gap, strong chemical stability, durability, and easy synthesis, it is expected to become a new hot spot in the field of photocatalysis in the near future. This mini-review presents a comprehensive summary of the modulation strategies to effectively improve the photocatalytic activity of ZnIn 2 S 4 such as morphology and structural engineering, defects engineering, doping engineering, and heterojunction engineering. This review aims to provide reference to the proof-of-concept design of highly active ZnIn 2 S 4 -based photocatalysts for the enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction.
