“…The corresponding In 3 d characteristic peaks for ZnIn 2 S 4 –2%NiS appear positive shift to 452.22 and 444.65 eV after integrating NiS. [ 25,28 ] In Figure 3c, the Ni 2p in NiS consists of two main peaks at about 855.29 and 872.85 eV due to Ni 2p 3/2 and Ni 2p 1/2 , proving that Ni 2+ exists. While the peaks at about 861.02 and 878.38 eV belong to satellite peak, same as reported in the literature.…”

“…For instance, Huang et al used 3D Cu‐x/Zn 3 In 2 S 6 solid solutions as photocatalyst that exhibited high CO 2 reduction efficiency under vis‐light irradiation. [ 28 ] Hao and coworkers reported that 0D/3D CeO 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 composite photocatalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance due to the large specific surface area of 3D ZnIn 2 S 4 structure, which facilitates the dispersion of CeO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) to build Z‐Scheme heterojunction and improve the carrier separation efficiency. [ 29 ] However, similar to the dilemma faced by other semiconductors, the inefficient use of visible light and the rapid recombination rate of photogenerated carriers severely limit the photocatalytic performance of ZnIn 2 S 4 .…”

Improved photogenerated carrier separation efficiency is of importance for improving photocatalytic activity. Herein, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction of a 3D/0D ZnIn2S4/NiS ohmic‐junction photocatalyst under simulated sunlight is studied. The ZnIn2S4–2%NiS sample has the best excellent photoreduction CO2 performance facilitated by triethanolamine (TEOA) reagents, the ZnIn2S4–2%NiS sample with a CO yield of 12.63 μmol g−1 h−1, which is two times that for pure ZnIn2S4 (6.37 μmol g−1 h−1). It is demonstrated that NiS nanoparticles not only improve the efficiency of electron generation and charge separation by constructing a tight contact ohmic‐junction, but also act as a cocatalyst to extend the photoreaction range and lower the reaction barrier, which effectively accelerates the photocatalytic reduction reaction. Additionally, the 3D structure of ZnIn2S4 has an excellent specific surface area that facilitates the dispersion of NiS. The generation, separation, and migration of photogenerated electron holes are studied from the kinetics perspective through transient photocurrent response, linear sweep voltammetry curve and photoluminescence spectroscopy. In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is applied to study the CO2 photoreduction process. Herein, the important role of cocatalyst and ohmic‐junction in improving photocatalytic activity is revealed and a new idea for the construction of efficient photocatalysts is provided.

“…Visible-light-driven photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 , imitating natural photosynthesis, is an effective technology that can convert solar energy into chemical energy to solve the growing energy crisis. − Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were explored as highly efficient and multifunctional heterogeneous photocatalyst candidates, mainly owing to their ultrahigh specific surface area, high adsorption capacity, and adjustable structure. − MOFs were used in photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 , which utilized electrons generated by light excitation to reduce CO 2 into CO and CH 4 . − However, powder catalysts have certain disadvantages, such as light scattering and difficulty with recovering after reaction, which limit their practical application …”

Metal−organic framework (MOFs) films have a wide range of applications in gas separation and chemical sensing. By contrast, MOF films have rarely been reported in the field of photocatalysis. Compared with crystalline MOF powders, the photocatalysis of films can surmount the defects of agglomeration, light scattering, and poor recyclability. The preparation of suitable MOF films for high-efficiency photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is currently the research focus. Herein, we successfully prepared zirconium-based MOF particles on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fiber textiles (denoted as PET@NH 2 -UiO-66 film) by a straightforward hydrothermal method and investigated visible-light-driven photocatalytic overall reduction of CO 2 . The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy images demonstrate that the NH 2 -UiO-66 particles grew well on PET fiber textiles. The photocatalytic performance of the PET@NH 2 -UiO-66 film was studied in gas−solid and pure water systems without sacrificial agents. The photocatalytic results show that the PET@NH 2 -UiO-66 film has excellent photocatalytic activity, and reusability is better than that of the NH 2 -UiO-66 powder. By measuring the photocurrent response and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the results demonstrate that the electron−hole pairs of the film separate rapidly. Moreover, a possible mechanism of overall photoreduction of CO 2 was proposed. This work provides a straightforward and simple strategy to design flexible and stable MOF films for visible-light-driven efficient overall photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 .

“…An LSPR‐enhanced Cu/ZnInS catalyst that could suppress HER was reported. [ 80 ] The optimized sample exhibited a CH 4 production rate of 292 μL g −1 h −1 with a selectivity of 71.1%, while the pristine ZnInS gave major H 2 (65.6%) and minor CH 4 (2.77%). In this case, Cu NPs not only worked as an engine of the photocatalytic process, but also provided reaction sites for CO 2 to form •CO 2 − .…”
