Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution integrated with selective oxidation offers a prominent pathway for sustainable energy production and high-value chemical production. Metal sulfide-based photocatalysts (named MSP) have gained attention due to their appropriate band alignments, strong light absorption, and adjustable surface characteristics. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in MSP design for coupled H2 production and selective oxidation of representative organic molecules, including benzyl alcohol (BA), furfural alcohol (FFA), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), benzylamine (BAm), and lactic acid (LA). Particularly, we highlight their photocatalytic performance and charge transfer mechanisms. Finally, this review presents current challenges and future strategies for designing efficient and industrially feasible photocatalytic systems.
