Modulating the crystal structure of the semiconductor photocatalyst is important to separate and migrate the photogenerated electrons and holes for good photocatalytic performance. Here, we show that Sn replaces part of In atoms in In2S3 nanosheets to form bimetallic sulfide In4SnS8, which induces t...
