Despite their numerous excellent properties, metal sulfides are not particularly efficient at converting energy and purifying the environment, which limits their further applications. Fortunately, the energy conversion and environmental purification efficiencies of these materials have experienced notable advancements in recent years, accompanied by an improved understanding of their underlying mechanisms. Herein, progress in experimental researches in recent years on the engineering of single component metal sulfides by controlling morphology, construction of heterojunctions, and incorporating elements is reviewed. Methods to design and prepare metal sulfide‐based composites by building binary or ternary heterojunctions of metal sulfide/semiconductor/conductor are also discussed in detail. These materials are used in energy conversion and environmental purification systems, where they act as photocatalytic materials not only to split water, reduce carbon dioxide or nitrogen, but also to degrade pollutants (organic and inorganic) in water and gas. Finally, it is concluded by summarizing the research frontiers of metal sulfide nanomaterials in energy and environmental applications, as well as proposing potential challenges and future research directions. This work may contribute to a better understanding of metal sulfide nanocomposites and provide clues for the fabrication of more efficient metal sulfide‐based nanostructures for clean energy production and environmental remediation.

“…The n-type CdIn 2 S 4 semiconductor thin films have recently focused on substantial attention because of their interesting physical properties. It has terrestrial applications in optoelectronic devices, photoconductors, solar cells, and light emitting diodes (LEDs) [4][5][6][7]. Nevertheless, it is still a dispute to fabricate a nanostructured CdIn 2 S 4 material with structurally distinct morphology onto a conductive substrate.…”

In this work, we present the substrate temperature influenced change in the structural, optical, morphological, and electrical conductivity properties of CdIn 2 S 4 thin films deposited on amorphous glass substrates by nebulized spray pyrolysis (NSP) technique. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed that the asdeposited CdIn 2 S 4 thin films had a cubic structure with a preferred orientation along (111) plane. The reduced strain by increasing the substrate temperature from 200 to 350 • C increased the average crystalline size from 17 to 33 nm while the formation of secondary phases such as CdIn 2 O 4 and In 2 O 3 reduced it to 21 nm after the substrate temperature at 450 • C. The energy dispersive analysis by X-ray (EDAX) studies confirmed the presence of Cd, In, and S. The absorption coefficient, direct band gap energy, Urbach energy, skin depth, and extinction coefficient of CdIn 2 S 4 films were analyzed by optical absorption spectra. The better conductivity and mobility noticed at T s = 350 • C are explained by carrier concentration and crystalline size. Better optical and electrical conductivity behavior of CdIn 2 S 4 thin film sample suggests for effective PEC solar cell fabrication.
