g‐C3N4/CdS heterojunctions are potential photocatalysts for hydrogen production but their traditional type‐II configuration generally leads to weak oxidative and reductive activity. How to construct the novel Z‐scheme g‐C3N4/CdS counterparts to address this issue remains a great challenge in this fi...
