A Cu2O/ZnS/ZnO core–shell orderly nanoarray transparent p–n junction was prepared using a hydrothermal in situ sulfuration–sputtering method. Compared with Cu2O/ZnO, Cu2O/ZnS/ZnO exhibited a higher transmittance of ∼85%, photovoltaic enhancement by ∼1.2 × 103-fold (a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of ∼1.28%), and stable output during a 6 month cycle. This can be primarily attributed to the in situ dual functional ZnS transition layer, which exhibits an appropriate Fermi level and high quantum yield, thereby efficiently optimizing the carrier equilibrium while sustaining higher transparency. Furthermore, the ZnS/ZnO core–shell nanoarrays with a better carrier transport pathway and increased solar efficiency can optimize the carrier kinetic equilibrium. In addition, the ZnS/ZnO nanoarrays with higher physical stability and in situ ZnS shell with higher chemical stability can efficiently increase the photovoltaic stability.

Photo‐charging zinc ion batteries (PCZIBs) emerge as an innovative approach for the effective utilization and storage of solar energy. However, challenges originating from the suboptimal accessibility of photoexcited charges to electroactive sites severely restrict their practical applications. Herein, a facile methodology to balance light utilization and electrochemical performance by constructing multiple pn junctions in a 3D hierarchical PTCDA‐SP/CuZnS photoelectrochemical cathode is reported. DFT calculations reveal that p‐type CuZnS can adjust the local electronic environment of n‐type PTCDA‐SP, facilitating the formation of multiple pn junctions among the interface of this cathode. This unique nanostructure significantly promotes ultrafast charge transfer within 3 ps and prevents other undesirable excited state decay pathways, as well as boosts ultrashort photo‐response relaxation time less than 20s, resulting in high values of both photo current and voltage of 72.1 µA cm−2 and 813 mV cm−2 respectively. Additionally, all these carbonyls are responsible for photoelectrochemical Zn2+ storage cascade, ensuring significant improvements in reversible capacities (ca. 32%). This study describes a paradigm of building pn junction on 3D hierarchical cathodes to construct high‐performance PCZIBs.
