摘要
ZnIn_(2)S_(4), a typical n-type semiconductor, has received intensive attention due to its suitable bandgap, excellent visible light absorption performance, and simple and fiexible preparation methods. However, its application is curbed by photo-generated carrier recombination and photo corrosion. Although constructing S-scheme heterojunctions by combining ZnIn_(2)S_(4)with other semiconductors can solve these problems, the photocatalytic activity of S-scheme heterojunctions can be further improved. Therefore, this short review summarizes modification strategies of ZnIn_(2)S_(4)-based S-scheme heterojunctions. This article also introduces the concept, design principles, and characterization methods of ZnIn_(2)S_(4)-based S-scheme heterojunction. Finally, current challenges and future research focuses related to ZnIn_(2)S_(4)-based S-scheme heterojunctions are discussed and summarized, including the utilization of advanced in-situ characterization techniques to further illuminate the photocatalytic mechanism, the DFT-assisted design of catalysts to increase the selectivity of products during photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction, and extending the photoresponse of ZnIn_(2)S_(4)-based S-scheme heterojunction to near-infrared range, etc.
