Abstract:
Photocatalysis is a potential strategy to solve energy and environmental problems. The development of new sustainable photocatalysts is a current topic in the field of photocatalysis. ZnIn2S4, a visible light-responsive photocatalyst, has attracted extensive research interest in recent years. Due to its suitable band gap, strong chemical stability, durability, and easy synthesis, it is expected to become a new hot spot in the field of photocatalysis in the near future. This mini-review presents a comprehensive summary of the modulation strategies to effectively improve the photocatalytic activity of ZnIn2S4 such as morphology and structural engineering, defects engineering, doping engineering, and heterojunction engineering. This review aims to provide reference to the proof-of-concept design of highly active ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts for the enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the...
