Abstract
The highly efficient photo-oxidation of alcohols has sparked significant potential to cope with environmental pollution and the ever-increasing energy crisis. This study reports a unique Ti3C2/BiOBr (TB) heterojunction with a rich inter-face based on in situ exfoliation of MXene and subsequently anchored onto BiOBr sheets. The TB nano-composites exhibited substantially improved photo-catalytic activity towards the photo-oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA) to benzaldehyde and achieved a formation rate of 1.73 mmol g-1 h-1, greater than pristine BiOBr. The ultra-thin inter-facial contact boosted the oxygen vacancies (Ov) and Ti3+ and possessed the most negative adsorption energy, which boosted the transfer and separation of inter-facial charge carriers and the adsorption and dissociation of BA. Overall, the successful synthesis of TB composite, along with its exceptional photo-catalytic performance, offers valuable insights for applications in green chemistry and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Combining the hydrogen (H2) extraction process and organic oxidation synthesis in photooxidation-reduction reactions mediated by semiconductors is a desirable strategy because rich chemicals are evolved as byproducts along with hydrogen in trifling conditions upon irradiation, which is the only effort. The bifunctional photocatalytic strategy facilitates the feasible formation of a C═O/C─C bond from a large number of compounds containing a X-H (X = C, O) bond; therefore, the production of H2 can be easily realized without support from third agents like chemical substances, thus providing an eco-friendly and appealing organic synthesis strategy. Among the widely studied semiconductor nanomaterials, ZnxCd1-xS has been continuously studied and explored by researchers over the years, and it has attracted much consideration owing to its unique advantages such as adjustable band edge position, rich elemental composition, excellent photoelectric properties, and ability to respond to visible light. Therefore, nanostructures based on ZnxCd1-xS have been widely studied as a feasible way to efficiently prepare hydrogen energy and selectively oxidize it into high-value fine chemicals. In this Review, first, the crystal and energy band structures of ZnxCd1-xS, the model of twin nanocrystals, the photogenerated charge separation mechanism of the ZB-WZ-ZB homojunction with crisscross bands, and the Volmer-Weber growth mechanism of ZnxCd1-xS are described. Second, the morphology, structure, modification, synthesis, and vacancy engineering of ZnxCd1-xS are surveyed, summarized, and discussed. Then, the research progress in ZnxCd1-xS-based photocatalysis in photocatalytic hydrogen extraction (PHE) technology, the mechanism of PHE, organic substance (benzyl alcohol, methanol, etc.) dehydrogenation, the factors affecting the efficiency of photocatalytic discerning oxidation of organic derivatives, and selective C-H activation and C-C coupling for synergistic efficient dehydrogenation of photocatalysts are described. Conclusively, the challenges in the applicability of ZnxCd1-xS-based photocatalysts are addressed for further research development along this line.

Abstract
The persistent hurdles of charge rapid recombination, inefficient use of light and utilization of sacrificial reagents have plagued the field of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE). In this research, tiny MoO2 nanoparticles of 10 nm in diameter were prepared through a straightforward solvothermal approach with a specific ratio of oleylamine and oleic acid as stabilizers. The critical factor in the synthesis process was found to be the ratio of oleylamine to oleic acid. Moreover, a two-phase interface assembly method facilitated the uniform deposition of MoO2 onto CdS nanorods. Due to the localized plasmonic-thermoelectric effect on the surface of MoO2 along with its abundant oxygen vacancies, the composite catalyst exhibited outstanding photo-utilization efficiency and an abundance of active sites. The CdS-MoO2 composite displayed a unique photochemical property in transforming lactic acid into pyruvic acid and generating hydrogen simultaneously. After exposure to artificial sunlight for 4 h, significant values of 4.7 and 3.7 mmol⋅g-1⋅h-1 were achieved for hydrogen production and pyruvic acid formation, respectively, exceeding CdS alone by 3.29 and 4.02-fold, while the selectivity of pyruvic acid was 95.68 %. Furthermore, the S-Scheme electron transport mechanism in the composites was elucidated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, radical trapping experiments, energy band structure analysis, and the identification of critical intermediates in the process of selective oxidation. This work sheds light on the design and preparation of high-performance photocatalysts for biorefining coupled with efficient hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Janus heterostructures consisting of multiple jointed components with distinct properties have gained growing interest in the photoredox catalytic field. Herein, we have developed a facile low-temperature method to gain anisotropic one-dimensional Au-tipped CdS (Au-CdS) nanorods (NRs), followed by assembling Ru molecular co-catalyst (RuN5) onto the surface of the NRs. The CdS NRs decorated with plasmonic Au nanoparticles (NPs) and RuN5 complex harness the virtues of metal-semiconductor and inorganic-organic interface, giving directional charge transfer channels, spatially separated reaction sites, and enhanced local electric field distribution. As a result, the Au-CdS-RuN5 can act as an efficient dual-function photocatalyst for simultaneous H2 evolution and valorization of biomass-derived alcohols. Benefiting from the interfacial charge decoupling and selective chemical bond activation, the optimal all-in-one Au-CdS-RuN5 heterostructure shows greatly enhanced photoactivity and selectivity as compared to bare CdS NRs, along with a remarkable apparent quantum yield of 40.2 % at 400 nm. The structural evolution and working mechanism of the heterostructures are systematically analyzed based on experimental and computational results.

Abstract
A lack of eco-friendly, highly active photocatalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and unclear environmental risks are significant challenges. Herein, we developed a double S-scheme Fe2O3/BiVO4(110)/BiVO4(010)/Fe2O3 photocatalyst to activate PMS and investigated its impact on wheat seed germination. We observed an improvement in charge separation by depositing Fe2O3 on the (010) and (110) surfaces of BiVO4. This enhancement is attributed to the formation of a dual S-scheme charge transfer mechanism at the interfaces of Fe2O3/BiVO4(110) and BiVO4(010)/Fe2O3. By introducing PMS into the system, photogenerated electrons effectively activate PMS, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and sulfate radicals (SO4·-). Among the tested systems, the 20% Fe2O3/BiVO4/Vis/PMS system exhibits the highest catalytic efficiency for norfloxacin (NOR) removal, reaching 95% in 40 min. This is twice the catalytic efficiency of the Fe2O3/BiVO4/PMS system, 1.8 times that of the Fe2O3/BiVO4 system, and 5 times that of the BiVO4 system. Seed germination experiments revealed that Fe2O3/BiVO4 heterojunction was beneficial for wheat seed germination, while PMS had a significant negative effect. This study provides valuable insights into the development of efficient and sustainable photocatalytic systems for the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Photocatalytic selective oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes and H2 is a green strategy for obtaining both value-added chemicals and clean energy. Herein, a dual-purpose ZnIn2S4@CdS photocatalyst was designed and constructed for efficient catalyzing benzyl alcohol (BA) into benzaldehyde (BAD) with coupled H2 evolution. To address the deep-rooted problems of pure CdS, such as high recombination of photogenerated carriers and severe photo-corrosion, while also preserving its superiority in H2 production, ZnIn2S4 with a suitable band structure and adequate oxidizing capability was chosen to match CdS by constructing a coupled reaction. As designed, the photoexcited holes (electrons) in the CdS (ZnIn2S4) were spatially separated and transferred to the ZnIn2S4 (CdS) by electrostatic pull from the built-in electric field, leading to expected BAD production (12.1 mmol g-1 h-1) at the ZnIn2S4 site and H2 generation (12.2 mmol g-1 h-1) at the CdS site. This composite photocatalyst also exhibited high photostability due to the reasonable hole transfer from CdS to ZnIn2S4. The experimental results suggest that the photocatalytic transform of BA into BAD on ZnIn2S4@CdS is via a carbon-centered radical mechanism. This work may extend the design of advanced photocatalysts for more chemicals by replacing H2 evolution with N2 fixation or CO2 reduction in the coupled reactions.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) cycloaddition not only produces highly valued cyclic carbonate but also utilizes CO2 as C1 resources with 100% atomic efficiency. However, traditional catalytic routes still suffer from inferior catalytic efficiency and harsh reaction conditions. Developing multienergy-field catalytic technology with expected efficiency offers great opportunity for satisfied yield under mild conditions. Herein, Zn3In2S6 with sulfur vacancies (Sv) was fabricated with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), which is further employed for photothermally driven CO2 cycloaddition first. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical characterization demonstrated its superior separation kinetics of photoinduced carriers induced by defect engineering. The temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) technique indicated its excellent Lewis acidity-basicity characters. Due to the combination of above merits from photocatalysis and thermal catalysis, defective Zn3In2S6-Sv achieved a yield as high as 73.2% for cyclic carbonate at 80 °C under blue LED illumination within 2 h (apparent quantum yield of 0.468% under illumination of 380 nm monochromatic light at 36 mW·cm-2), which is 2.9, 2.0, and 6.9 times higher than that in dark conditions and those of pristine Zn3In2S6 and industrial representative tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) thermal-catalysis process under the same conditions, respectively. The synergistic reaction path of photocatalysis and thermal catalysis was discriminated by theoretical calculation. This work provides new insights into the photothermal synergistic catalysis CO2 cycloaddition with defective ternary metal sulfides.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is an effective technique to remove antibiotic residues from aquatic environments. Typical metal sulfides like Zn3 In2 S6 have been applied to a wide range of photocatalytic applications. However, there are currently no readily accessible methods to increase its antibiotic-degrading activity. Here, a facile hydrothermal approach is developed for the preparation of flower-like Zn3 In2 S6 with tunable sulfur lattice defects. Photogenerated carriers can be separated and transferred more easily when there is an adequate amount of lattice defects. Moreover, lattice defect-induced electronic modulation enhances light utilization and adsorption properties. The modified Zn3 In2 S6 demonstrates outstanding photocatalytic degradation activity for levofloxacin, ofloxacin, and tetracycline. This work sheds light on exploring metal sulfides with sulfur lattice defects for enhancing photocatalytic activity.

Coupled photocatalysis without cocatalysts can maximize the utilization of photons and atoms, which puts forward higher demands on photocatalysts. Polymeric carbon nitride (CN) has become the most promising photocatalyst, but still suffers from major drawbacks of insufficient catalytic sites and low quantum efficiency. Herein, we report a fluid shear stress-assisted molecular assembly to prepare ultrathin-nanosheet-assembled acanthosphere-like CN (ASCN) with nitrogen vacancy (Nv) and carbonyl modification. Shear stress breaks the stacking interactions between layers and cuts the stacked structure into ultrathin layers, which are further reassembled into acanthosphere bundles driven by "centrifugal force". Benefitted greatly from the ultrathin nature that provides more exposed active sites and improves charge carrier separation, ASCN-3 exhibits a 20-fold higher activity than the bulk counterpart toward oxygen reduction to H2O2 coupled with 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (4-MBA) oxidation to anisaldehyde (AA), with significantly increased turnover frequency (TOF) values (TOF: 1.69 h-1 for H2O2 and 1.02 h-1 for AA). Significantly, ASCN-3 exhibits 95.8% conversion for 4-MBA oxidation with nearly 100% selectivity. High apparent quantum yields of 11.7% and 9.3% at 420 nm are achieved for H2O2 photosynthesis and 4-MBA oxidation. Mechanism studies suggest that carbonyl induces holes concentrated at the neighboring melem unit to directly oxidize the Cα-H bond of 4-MBA to produce carbon radicals, and Nv as oxygen adsorption active site traps electrons to form a superoxide radical that further combines with the shed protons into H2O2. This work presents a simple physical method to break the layered stack of CN for creating hierarchical assembly for coupled photocatalysis.

Abstract
Integrating photocatalytic CO2 reduction with selective benzyl alcohol (BA) oxidation in one photoredox reaction system is a promising way for the simultaneous utilization of photogenerated electrons and holes. Herein, ZnmIn2S3+m (m = 1-5) semiconductors (ZnIn2S4, Zn2In2S5, Zn3In2S6, Zn4In2S7, and Zn5In2S8) with various composition faults were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method and used for effective selective dehydrocoupling of benzyl alcohol into high-value C-C coupling products and reduction of CO2 into syngas under visible light. The absorption edge of ZnmIn2S3+m samples shifted to shorter wavelengths as the atomic ratio of Zn/In was increased. The conduction band and valence band position can be adjusted by changing the Zn/In ratio, resulting in controllable photoredox ability for selective BA oxidation and CO2 reduction. For example, the selectivity of benzaldehyde (BAD) product was reduced from 76% (ZnIn2S4, ZIS1) to 27% (Zn4In2S7, ZIS4), while the selectivity of hydrobenzoin (HB) was increased from 22% to 56%. Additionally, the H2 formation rate on ZIS1 (1.6 mmol/g/h) was 1.6 times higher than that of ZIS4 (1.0 mmol/g/h), and the CO formation rate on ZIS4 (0.32 mmol/g/h) was three times higher than that of ZIS1 (0.13 mmol/g/h), demonstrating that syngas with different H2/CO ratios can be obtained by controlling the Zn/In ratio in ZnmIn2S3+m. This study provides new insights into unveiling the relationship of structure-property of ZnmIn2S3+m layered crystals, which are valuable for implementation in a wide range of environment and energy applications.

Abstract
One of the most sustainable and promising approaches for hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) production in a low-cost and environment-friendly way is photosynthesis, which, however, suffers from poor carrier utilization and low H2 O2 productivity. The addition of proton donors such as isopropanol or ethanol can increase H2 O2 production, which, unfortunately, will inevitably elevate the entire cost while wasting the oxidizing power of holes (h+ ). Herein, the tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) is employed as a distinctive proton donor for the thermodynamically feasible and selective semi-dehydrogenation reaction to highly valuable dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs), and meanwhile, to couple with and promote H2 O2 generation in one photoredox reaction under the photocatalysis by dual-functional Zn3 In2 S6 photocatalyst. Surprisingly, the suitably defective Zn3 In2 S6 offers an excellent and near-stoichiometric co-production performance of H2 O2 and DHIQs at unprecedentedly high rates of 66.4 and 62.1 mmol h-1 g-1 under visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm), respectively, which outperforms all the previously available reports even though sacrificial agents were employed in those reports. Additionally, photocatalytic redox reaction mechanism demonstrates that H2 O2 can be generated through multiple pathways, highlighting the synergistic effect among ROS (·O2 - and 1 O2 ), h+ and proton donor, which has been ignored in previous studies.

Abstract
Precise regulation and control solar-light-driven charges photoexcited on photocatalysts for separation-transfer and target redox reactions is an attractive and challenging pathway toward sustainability. Herein, 0D/2D-3D Pt/In2S3 Schottky junction was fabricated for simultaneous selective phenylcarbinol conversion into value-added aldehydes and production of clean energy H2 by directly utilizing photoexcited holes and electrons in one reaction system under mild reaction conditions. In contrast to pure water splitting and pure In2S3, the reaction thermodynamics and kinetics of H2 evolution on the Pt/In2S3 were significantly enhanced. The optimized 0.3% Pt/In2S3 exhibited the highest and most stable photocatalytic activity with 22.1 mmol g−1 h−1 of H2 production rate and almost 100% selectivity of benzaldehyde production. Notably, this dual-function photocatalysis also exhibited superiority in contrast to sacrificial-agent H2 evolution reactions such as lactic acid, Na2S, methanol and triethanolamine. The turnover frequency (TOF) could reach up to ~2394 h−1. The Pt clusters anchored at the electron location and strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) between Pt and In2S3 synergistically improved the spatial charge separation and directional transportation (~90.1% of the charge transport efficiency could be achieved over the Pt/In2S3 hybrid), and thus result in significant enhancement of photocatalytic H2 evolution with simultaneous benzaldehyde production.

Abstract
Converting solar energy into hydrogen energy is a feasible means to solve the current energy crisis. However, developing an excellent photocatalyst with high light utilization and stability for hydrogen production remains a great challenge. In this work, CoS2 nanoparticles as cocatalysts are growth on Zn3In2S6 nanosheets with abundant sulfur vacancies for hydrogen evolution, and the optimal rate of hydrogen evolution is as high as 5.69 mmol h-1 g-1 in the absence of noble metal co-catalyst Pt, which is 2.87 and 2.29 times that of CoS2/Zn3In2S6 (with few sulfur vacancies) and Zn3In2S6 (with rich sulfur vacancies). In addition, the hydrogen production rate of CoS2/Zn3In2S6 composite (with rich sulfur vacancies and 1 wt% Pt) is 24.17 mmol h-1 g-1, which is 4.25 and 1.90 times that of CoS2/Zn3In2S6 (with rich sulfur vacancies) and 1%-Pt/Zn3In2S6 (with rich sulfur vacancies), respectively. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) of CoS2/Zn3In2S6 composite (with rich sulfur vacancies and 1 wt% Pt) reaches 66.20% under light irradiation at the wavelength of 370 nm. Above all indicate that dual cocatalysts (CoS2 and Pt) and sulfur vacancies can promote the efficient hydrogen evolution activity of Zn3In2S6 nanosheets. This work will provide new ideas and insights for the development of photocatalytic hydrogen production technology.

Abstract
Researchers worldwide seek to develop convenient, green, and ecological production processes to synthesize chemical products with high added value. In this sense, lignocellulosic biomass photocatalysis is an excellent process for obtaining various outcomes for the industry. One issue of biomass transformation via heterogeneous catalysis into valuable chemicals is the selection of an adequate catalyst that ensures high conversion and selectivity at low costs. Titanium oxide (TiO2), is widely used for several applications, including photocatalytic biomass degradation, depolymerization, and transformation. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a metal-free polymeric semiconductor with high oxidation and temperature resistance and there is a recent interest in developing this catalyst. Both catalysts are amenable to industrial production, relatively easy to dope, and suited for solar light absorption. Recent investigations also show the advantages of using heterojunctions, for biomass derivates production, due to their better solar spectrum absorption properties and, thus, higher efficiency, conversion, and selectivity over a broader spectrum. This work summarizes recent studies that maximize selectivity and conversion of biomass using photocatalysts based on TiO2 and g-C3N4 as supports, as well as the advantages of using metals, heterojunctions, and macromolecules in converting cellulose and lignin. The results presented show that heterogeneous photocatalysis is an interesting technology for obtaining several chemicals of industrial use, especially when using TiO2 and g-C3N4 doped with metals, heterojunctions, and macromolecules because these modified catalysts permit higher conversion and selectivity, milder reaction conditions, and reduced cost due to solar light utilization. In order to apply these technologies, it is essential to adopt government policies that promote the use of photocatalysts in the industry, in addition to encouraging active collaboration between photooxidation research groups and companies that process lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Developing novel photocatalysts with high performance is significant for the practical application of photocatalytic H2 production. Herein, novel and noble-metal-free heterojunction photocatalysts contained CdIn2S4 nanoparticles and bulk MoP were prepared. The H2-production rate of optimal MoP/CdIn2S4 (MPCIS) composites achieved at 286.10 μmol g-1h-1, which was nearly 2.2 times that of CdIn2S4-1 %Pt (130.51 μmol g-1h-1). Electrochemical and PL results displayed that MoP cocatalyst could vastly boost the carrier separation efficiency of CdIn2S4. The high carrier separation efficiency maybe put down to the Fermi level rearrangement between MoP and CdIn2S4. The linear sweep voltammograms tests showed that, compared to CdIn2S4, CdIn2S4 with 30 %MoP (30MPCIS) has smaller Tafel slopes and lower H2 evolution overpotentials, which contributed to facilitate H2 release in kinetics. The 30MPCIS composites possess higher Cdl value and MoP has Pt-like electronic structure, so that MoP could offer abundant surface reaction sites of MPCIS composites for HER. Aforementioned results demonstrate that MoP may have great potential in replacing precious metal Pt for photocatalytic H2 production. It is expected that this study can provide new insights into developing the novel sulfide-based heterojunction photocatalysts with MoP as cocatalyst for resultful photocatalytic H2 generation.

Abstract
The photocatalytic transformation of CO2 to valuable man-made feedstocks is a promising method for balancing the carbon cycle; however, it is often hampered by the consumption of extra hole scavengers. Here, a synergistic redox system using photogenerated electron-hole pairs was constructed by employing a porous carbon nitride with many cyanide groups as a metal-free photocatalyst. Selective CO2 reduction to CO using photogenerated electrons was achieved under mild conditions; simultaneously, various alcohols were effectively oxidized to value-added aldehydes using holes. The results showed that thermal calcination process using ammonium sulfate as porogen contributes to the construction of a porous structure. As-obtained cyanide groups can facilitate charge carrier separation and promote moderate CO2 adsorption. Electron-donating groups in alcohols could enhance the activity via a faster hydrogen-donating process. This concerted photocatalytic system that synergistically utilizes electron-hole pairs upon light excitation contributes to the construction of cost-effective and multifunctional photocatalytic systems for selective CO2 reduction and artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
With photovoltaics becoming a mature, commercially feasible technology, society is willing to allocate resources for developing and deploying new technologies based on using solar light. Analysis of projects supported by the European Commission in the past decade indicates exponential growth of funding to photocatalytic (PC) and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) technologies that aim either at technology readiness levels (TRLs) TRL 1-3 or TRL > 3, with more than 75 Mio€ allocated from the year 2019 onward. This review provides a summary of PC and PEC processes for the synthesis of bulk commodities such as solvents and fuels, as well as chemicals for niche applications. An overview of photoreactors for photocatalysis on a larger scale is provided. The review rounds off with the summary of reactions performed at lab scale under natural outdoor solar light to illustrate conceptual opportunities offered by solar-driven chemistry beyond the reduction of CO2 and water splitting. The authors offer their vision of the impact of this area of research on society and the economy.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have been widely investigated for various photocatalytic applications. However, the dual-functional reaction system integrated selective organic oxidation with H2 production over MHPs is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes integrated with hydrogen (H2) evolution over Pt-decorated CsPbBr3. Especially, the functionalization of CsPbBr3 with graphene oxide (GO) further improves the photoactivity of the perovskite catalyst. The optimal amount of CsPbBr3/GO-Pt exhibits an H2 evolution rate of 1,060 μmol g−1 h−1 along with high selectivity (>99%) for benzyl aldehyde generation (1,050 μmol g−1 h−1) under visible light (λ > 400 nm), which is about five times higher than the CsPbBr3-Pt sample. The enhanced activity has been ascribed to two effects induced by the introduction of GO: 1) GO displays a structure-directing role, decreasing the particle size of CsPbBr3 and 2) GO and Pt act as electron reservoirs, extracting the photogenerated electrons and prohibiting the recombination of the electron–hole pairs. This study opens new avenues to utilize metal halide perovskites as dual-functional photocatalysts to perform selective organic transformations and solar fuel production.

Abstract
Merging hydrogen (H2) evolution with oxidative organic synthesis in a semiconductor-mediated photoredox reaction is extremely attractive because the clean H2 fuel and high-value chemicals can be coproduced under mild conditions using light as the sole energy input. Following this dual-functional photocatalytic strategy, a dreamlike reaction pathway for constructing C-C/C-X (X = C, N, O, S) bonds from abundant and readily available X-H bond-containing compounds with concomitant release of H2 can be readily fulfilled without the need of external chemical reagents, thus offering a green and fascinating organic synthetic strategy. In this review, we begin by presenting a concise overview on the general background of traditional photocatalytic H2 production and then focus on the fundamental principles of cooperative photoredox coupling of selective organic synthesis and H2 production by simultaneous utilization of photoexcited electrons and holes over semiconductor-based catalysts to meet the economic and sustainability goal. Thereafter, we put dedicated emphasis on recent key progress of cooperative photoredox coupling of H2 production and various selective organic transformations, including selective alcohol oxidation, selective methane conversion, amines oxidative coupling, oxidative cross-coupling, cyclic alkanes dehydrogenation, reforming of lignocellulosic biomass, and so on. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives in this flourishing area have been critically discussed. It is anticipated that this review will provide enlightening guidance on the rational design of such dual-functional photoredox reaction system, thereby stimulating the development of economical and environmentally benign solar fuel generation and organic synthesis of value-added fine chemicals.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting coupled with the production of highly value-added organic chemicals is of significant importance, which represents a very promising pathway for transforming green solar energy into chemical energy. Herein, we report a composite photocatalyst CdIn2 S4 @MIL-53-SO3 Ni1/2 , which is highly efficient on prompting water splitting for the production of H2 in the reduction half-reaction and selective oxidation of organic molecules for the production of highly value-added organic chemicals in the oxidation half-reaction under visible light irradiation. The superior photocatalytic properties of the composite photocatalyst CdIn2 S4 @MIL-53-SO3 Ni1/2 should be ascribed to coating suspended ion catalyst (SIC), consisting of redox-active NiII ions in the anionic pores of coordination network MIL-53-SO3 - , on the surface of photoactive CdIn2 S4 , which endows photogenerated electron-hole pairs separate more efficiently for high rate production of H2 and selective production of highly value-added organic products, demonstrating great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
The specific roles played by both support and noble metals in light absorption, charge separation, and the formation of ·OH and O2− (ROS) are analyzed for light-triggered oxidation of phenol (Ph) over pristine and over noble metal (Ag, Au, Pt) -loaded TiO2. Experiments show that the supported noble metals act as a light visible absorber, assist the separation of photo-charges and reduction of O2 to O2−. The O2− oxidizes mildly Ph to oxygenated products (hydroquinone, benzoquinone, and 1,2-dihydroxibenzene). In a parallel process, ·OH radicals, yielded by TiO2, mineralize Ph to CO2 by fast reaction sequences. Radical quenching and photo electrochemical measurements (surface photovoltage) confirm independently that the production of ·OH and O2− scale with oxidative conversion of Ph. The selectivity to CO2 and mild oxidation products is the result of the interplay between catalyst activity for ·OH and for O2− production.

Abstract
Selective transformation of alcohols to corresponding aldehydes has a crucial significance under mild conditions in industrial manufacturing. Herein, a novel photothermal catalyst (Cr2O3-Al2O3)/CdS (CAO/CdS) was successfully synthesized by coupling two-dimensional Cr2O3-Al2O3 (CAO) nanosheets and one-dimensional CdS nanorods. The CAO/CdS was characterized in detail. The synergistic effect of thermal catalyst CAO and photocatalyst CdS on the transformation of aromatic alcohols into aldehydes was verified. The result exhibited that alcohols could be oxidized into corresponding aldehydes efficiently under visible light illumination due to photocatalysis of CdS and thermal catalysis of CAO. CAO can weaken the bonds of O-H and C-Hα of alcohol at low temperatures, and CdS can produce active substances (·O2- and h+) for oxidizing alcohols to aldehydes under visible light illumination. The benzaldehyde yield increased about three times. It is proposed that the work has significant theoretical and practical values in photocatalysis studies.

Abstract
A series of novel CdS/CdIn2S4 composite materials were prepared via a one-pot solvothermal process. The as-obtained photocatalysts were characterized by several techniques and the photocatalytic properties of CdS/CdIn2S4 photocatalysts were studied by photocascade synthesis of Schiff base compounds in a photocatalytic reaction system of aromatic alcohols and nitrobenzene irradiated with visible light. The results reveal that the resulting CdS/CdIn2S4 heterostructure samples show outstanding photocatalytic activities toward the photocascade production of Schiff base compounds in an aromatic alcohols and nitrobenzene reaction system irradiated with visible light. An optimized 50.0% CdS/CdIn2S4 heterostructure sample shows the highest Schiff base yield of 42.0% irradiated with visible light for 4 h, which is approximately 19.1 and 1.54 times higher than those of sole CdS and CdIn2S4 samples, respectively. The fabrication of heterogeneous structure improves the spatial separation and migration of photoinduced electron-hole pairs, thus contributing to the enhancement of photocatalytic properties. We foresee that this finding can offer a strategy to develop heterostructure composites for efficient synthesis of organics by photocatalysis under mild conditions.

Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds on semiconductors provides a mild approach for organic synthesis and solar energy utilization. Herein, we identify the key points for the photocatalytic oxidation over Pt-loaded Rh-doped strontium titanate allowing the conversion of alcohols efficiently and selectively to aldehydes and ketones under anaerobic conditions and visible light with an apparent quantum efficiency of pure benzyl alcohol oxidation at 420 nm of ≤49.5%. Mechanistic investigations suggest that thermodynamically the controlled valence band edge position via Rh doping provides a suitable oxidation ability of photogenerated holes, avoiding the powerful hydroxyl radical intermediates prone to overoxidation resulting in high selectivity. Kinetically, oxygen vacancies induced by Rh3+ substitution in the SrTiO3 lattice not only favor the dissociative adsorption of alcohols yielding alkoxy species but also induce the weakening of the α-C-H bond facilitating its cleavage by the photogenerated holes. Pt nanoparticles deposited as a cocatalyst contribute to the final hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
Controllable and precise design of bimetal- or multimetal-semiconductor nanostructures with efficient light absorption, charge separation and utilization is strongly desired for photoredox catalysis applications in solar energy conversion. Taking advantage of Au nanorods, Pt nanoparticles, and CdS as the plasmonic metal, nonplasmonic co-catalyst and semiconductor respectively, we report a steerable approach to engineer the heterointerface of bimetal-semiconductor hybrids. We show that the ingredient composition and spatial distribution between the bimetal and semiconductor significantly influence the redox catalytic activity. CdS deposited anisotropic Pt-tipped Au nanorods, which feature improved light absorption, structure-enhanced electric field distribution and spatially regulated multichannel charge transfer, show distinctly higher photoactivity than blank CdS and other metal-CdS hybrids for simultaneous H2 and value-added aldehyde production from one redox cycle.
