“…This aligns intuitively with the formation of a Type I (straddling) heterojunction between CIS-S V and ReS 2 . While Type I heterojunctions are recognized for their efficiency in facilitating charge transfer, they inherently suffer from diminished thermodynamic reaction capabilities . Nonetheless, the CB potential of ReS 2 (−0.83 V vs NHE) is lower than the potential of H + /H 2 (0 V vs NHE), demonstrating adequate thermodynamic feasibility for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.…”

“…As a new addition to the transition metal dichalcogenides’ (TMDs) family, ReS 2 , featuring a large surface area, tunable active sites, electronic/optical properties, and structural/vibrational anisotropy independent of layer thickness, has been extensively explored in the fields of electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis, delivering performance on par with MoS 2 . − Here, we innovatively designed a layered 3D/2D ReS 2 /CdIn 2 S 4 –S V heterojunction, employing ReS 2 as a cocatalyst in situ grown on CdIn 2 S 4 nanosheet substrates, for efficient photocatalytic H 2 evolution. Notably, the ReS 2 /CdIn 2 S 4 –S V hybrid exhibits rapid charge separation, low carrier recombination, exceptional optical properties, and enhanced electronic transmission channels, resulting in an optimized Hydrogen production rate at 1.41 mmol·g –1 ·h –1 .…”

In this study, through vacancy engineering and nanomorphology control, a sulfur vacancy-rich three-/two-dimensional (3D/ 2D) ReS 2 /CdIn 2 S 4 −S V heterojunction photocatalyst was rationally constructed to achieve efficient spatial separation of charge carriers. This plays a crucial role in developing high-performance photocatalysts for effectively transforming solar energy into chemical energy. The optimized ReS 2 /CdIn 2 S 4 −S V (RCIS-S V ) composite material demonstrated a hydrogen production rate of 1.412 mmol•g −1 •h −1 , nearly 4.4 times that of CdIn 2 S 4 −S V (0.322 mmol•g −1 •h −1 ) and approximately 22.8 times that of CdIn 2 S 4 (0.062 mmol•g −1 •h −1 ). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests confirmed that upon the addition of octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (OTAB) ligands, CdIn 2 S 4 successfully transitioned from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional structure, thereby enhancing the feasibility for surface modification and functionalization. The strong interface charge carrier transfer efficiency within the 3D/2D ReS 2 /CdIn 2 S 4 −S V heterojunction photocatalyst, further enhanced by the synergistic effect of sulfur vacancies acting as electron traps and the incorporation of ReS 2 , significantly promotes the separation of photogenerated charges. By integrating 3D/2D heterostructures with sulfur vacancies, this study aims to offer valuable guidance for the rational design of efficient photocatalysts.

ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) is widely used in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen production due to its unique photoelectric properties. Nonetheless, the photocatalytic performance of ZIS usually faces problems of poor conductivity and rapid recombination of charge carriers. Heteroatom doping is often regarded as one of the effective strategies for improving the catalytic activity of photocatalysts. Herein, phosphorus (P)-doped ZIS was prepared by hydrothermal method, whose photocatalytic hydrogen production performance and energy band structure were fully studied. The band gap of P-doped ZIS is about 2.51 eV, which is slightly smaller than that of pure ZIS. Moreover, due to the upward shift of its energy band, the reduction ability of P-doped ZIS is enhanced, and P-doped ZIS also exhibits stronger catalytic activity than pure ZIS. The optimized P-doped ZIS exhibits a hydrogen production rate of 1566.6 μmol g−1 h−1, which is 3.8 times that of the pristine ZIS (411.1 μmol g−1 h−1). This work provides a broad platform for the design and synthesis of phosphorus-doped sulfide-based photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution.

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.
