“…Previous approaches to developing thiospinel nanostructures, like ZnIn 2 S 4 and CdIn 2 S 4 , mainly relied on high-temperature solid-state chemical reactions or multi-step wet chemistry procedures, such as solvothermal synthesis, hot injection route, chemical bath deposition, and ionexchange fabrication method. [12,[21][22][23] However, most of the reported thiospinels are polycrystalline in nature with nano-to micrometer-sized grains, such as flower-like (Zn/Cd)In 2 S 4 microspheres, ZnIn 2 S 4 nanotubes and nanoplates, and CdIn 2 S 4 nanosheets, with limited nanoporosity. [20] Herein, we report for the first time a low-temperature colloidal synthetic route to isolate fairly monodispersed CdIn 2 S 4 nanocrystals (NCs) of hexagonal spinel phase.…”

“…3,14 ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS) is a kind of direct bandgap semiconductor with a bandgap of 2.34 eV, 16 with enormous potential applications in many fields such as charge storage, 17 thermoelectricity, 18 lithium batteries, 19 photocatalysis, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and solar cell. [30][31][32][33] In 2003, Lei et al first reported photocatalytic hydrogen evolution using ZIS. 20 After that Yang et al found that doping oxygen in ZIS can increase the average lifetime of the photo-induced electrons by 1.53 times, which is a strong evidence of carrier separation.…”

“…27 2D ZIS/ g-C 3 N 4 28 and ZIS/Co 3 O 4 29 heterostructures also have been successfully synthesized, which showed higher rate of visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution than single component. 30 After that, ZIS/TiO 2 , 31 ZIS/ MEH-PPV ( poly(2-methoxy-5-(2/-ethylhexxy)-1,4-phenylene)) 32 and ZIS/CIS(CuIn 2 Se 4 ) heterostructures 33 were synthesized for solar cells. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of ZIS/CIS could reach 15.8%.…”

“…[12,13] On the one hand, the presence of rich polymorphs in Znln 2 S 4 endows it with a diverse range of fascinating performances. On the other hand, the direct bandgap with a wide tunability in the visible spectral range and appropriate locations of conduction/valance bands make it promising for the light-harvesting applications, such as photodetector, [14] solar cells, [15] light-emitting diodes, [16] and photocatalysis. [17] Similar to the case in binary TMDs, defects have great influence on the physical properties of atomically thin character of 2D Znln 2 S 4 .…”
