As one of the most attractive technologies, photocatalysis arouses tremendous interest to directly harvest, convert, and store renewable solar energy for solving crisis. Zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn 2 S 4 ), a novel ternary metal chalcogenide, is highly desired owing its non‐toxicity, low cost, easy fabrication. However, it still suffers from some problems, including charge‐carrier transfer rate ultrafast electron–hole recombination. Hence, various efficient modification methods are developed enhancing photocatalytic performance ZnIn nanomaterials. Herein, applications ‐based nanocomposites systematically summarized, followed by thorough discussion on synthesis micro/nanostructures. Furthermore, special attention paid design strategies, dimensionality tuning, element doping, vacancy control, cocatalyst loading, heterojunction construction. Many important conversion also addressed, such as water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen fixation. The influence physicochemical properties, structure, optical, electronic, adsorption, charge dynamics boosted concluded unravel property–application relationship. Through reviewing significant state‐of‐the‐art advances this topic, current challenges crucial issues photocatalysts prospected.

The oxygen-vacancy (OV)-rich BiOBr exhibits higher photocatalytic activity than that of the OV-deficient one. interaction target substrate with surface OV sites should be essential for high activity, but it is not well understood so far. Here, we used a cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) as model to investigate specific adsorption pollutants highly hydrophilic groups on BiOBr. We found CYN rich OVs much stronger poor OVs, and also degradation rate CYN. Various experiments indicated strong OV-rich originates from between sulfate group sites. Density functional theory calculations suggest that, sites, Brönsted acid (OHB) are formed through dissociative water molecules. combining effect hydrogen bonding these OHB coordination Lewis Bi make quite strong. Such can explain rapid CYN, which proceeds direct oxidation by h+ or OHB-derived •OH. Based ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry analysis, begins via hydroxylation at C5–C6 double bond in uracil ring •OH, further degraded two pathways. This work provides deeper understanding critical roles processes photocatalysis organic pollutant removal.
