工业化的快速推进加剧了全球对能源消耗与碳排放的担忧,氢能因其燃烧产物仅为水、来源丰富且燃烧热值高成为绿色能源体系的关键组成部分。光催化分解水制氢作为一种极具潜力的氢能生产技术,其效率和实用性受可见光利用率低、光生电荷载流子快速复合等因素制约。硫基光催化剂凭借硫掺杂带来的优势,在光催化领域展现出显著潜力,可通过修饰材料能带结构来拓宽光响应范围、增强稳定性并抑制电荷复合。综述了硫基催化剂在光催化制氢中的最新研究进展,重点探讨了CdS、In

The accelerated industrialization has intensified global co
ncerns over energy consumption and carbon emissions. Hydrogen energy
characterized by water-only combustion products
abundant availability
and high calorific value
constitutes a pivotal element in future energy systems. Photocatalytic water splitting represents a promising strategy for clean hydrogen production; however
its efficiency and practicality are limited by the constrained utilization of visible light and rapid recombination of photogenerated charges photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is a highly promising hydrogen energy production technology
but its efficiency and practicality are limited by factors such as low visible light utilization and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. Sulfide-based catalysts leverage the advantages of sulfur doping to modify band structures
broadening the light response range
enhancing stability
and suppressing charge recombination. This review synthesizes recent advances in sulfide-based photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution
focusing on characteristic properties and modification approaches for representative systems including CdS

and CdZnS. Performance enhancements are achieved through morphology engineering
elemental doping
and cocatalyst integration. Through the design of sulfur vacancies
the cyclic regeneration of sulfide-based materials is achieved
reducing reliance on precious metals
which aligns with the sustainability requirements for renewable materials. Collectively
this work establishes fundamental principles for developing efficient
stable photocatalytic systems
paving the way toward sustainable energy infrastructure transformation.
