“…Since the Industrial Revolution, traditional energy sources have been depleting and causing severe impact on the global environment. , The urgency of the energy crisis requires the exploration of alternative solutions to traditional energy sources. , Hydrogen, with its high energy density, environmental friendliness, and renewability, holds broad application prospects and is expected to play a pivotal role in future developments. , Among the various hydrogen production methods, photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen generation has long been considered one of the most promising technologies to address environmental pollution and energy shortage. − Metal sulfides, with appropriate band gaps, broad spectral response ranges, and excellent physicochemical properties, such as CdZnS, ZnIn 2 S 4 , and CdIn 2 S 4 , are popular candidates as photocatalysts for water splitting. However, the poor photocorrosion resistance and low efficiency of photogenerated charge carrier separation in metal sulfides, along with the environmental unfriendliness of Cd 2+ , have hampered the catalytic activity and limited research into sulfides …”
