Photocatalytic carbon‐carbon (C─C) coupling of benzyl alcohol is a promising means to coproduce the value‐added chemicals with H2 but is generally subject to low efficiency in terms of photon utilization. Here, efficient benzyl alcohol C─C coupling is achieved over Zn2In2S5 containing a tunable cont...
