“…In addition to using metal as co-catalyst, Yang et al employed Mo 2 C as co-catalyst to accept photogenerated e − and the reaction sites of H 2 evolution. 84 The Mo 2 C@ZnIn 2 S 4 catalyst showed a high formation rate of H 2 (2800 μmol h −1 g −1 ) and FAL (11 330 μmol h −1 g −1 ). The performance was much better than those over ZnIn 2 S 4 and Pt/ZnIn 2 S 4 .…”

Photosynthesis converts solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water into biomass, offering a renewable energy and chemical source. Biomass photo(electro)refining (BPeR) emerges as a sustainable alternative to petrochemicals for fuel and chemical production. However, BPeR faces challenges due to photocatalyst limitations, necessitating the integration of cocatalysts. Cocatalysts significantly impact the efficiency, selectivity, and durability of BPeR reactions, yet their roles require systematic elucidation and understanding. This review explores how cocatalysts impact the carbon bond functionalization, cleavage, and formation in biomass and its derivatives. It discusses their crucial roles in charge carrier generation, separation, and transportation, particularly in catalyzing surface reactions such as hydrogen‐involved reactions, generation, and manipulation of oxygen or carbon radicals, and the C─C/O/H bond transformations. Additionally, it outlines challenges and prospects for developing cocatalysts to enhance BPeR efficiency and durability, boosting the viability of biomass as a sustainable source of energy and materials.

The burgeoning field of semiconductor‐mediated organic conversion is of paramount significance, with zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4) emerging as a standout candidate owing to its benign nature, optimal bandgap, extensive light absorption spectrum, remarkable physicochemical properties, and straightforward synthesis. This review examines the latest breakthroughs and the trajectory of ZnIn2S4‐based photocatalysts in the realm of selective organic transformation. We start with a distinct overview of the intrinsic physical attributes of ZnIn2S4 and the underlying mechanisms driving its efficacy in photocatalytic organic transformations. Subsequently, the preparation methods of ZnIn2S4 are summarized. The main focus is the state‐of‐the‐art photocatalytic application of various ZnIn2S4‐based photocatalysts, such as redox reactions, the construction of C–C, C–S and S–S bonds, and the cleavage of C−O, C−C, and C=C bonds. In conclusion, we provide our perspectives on the prospective advancements and the remaining challenges that lie ahead in the optimization of ZnIn2S4‐based photocatalysts, with the ultimate goal of enhancing their efficacy for a diverse array of photosynthetic applications. It is anticipated to inspire the strategic engineering of ZnIn2S4 and other semiconductor‐based photocatalysts for various artificial photosynthesis reactions.
