Sulfur‐Vacancy‐Derived Lewis Acid Sites in 3R‐Phase ZnIn <sub>2</sub> S <sub>4</sub> Nanosheets for Efficient Uranium Extraction From Wastewater
). Furthermore, the material exhibits inherent anti-biofouling performance (≈100% after 3 h) and excellent cycling stability over 10 cycles. Our findings reveal the dual role of sulfur vacancies in photocatalysis as a binding site for uranium and an electronic modulator for charge dynamics, thereby proposing a "phase-defect synergy" design principle for the development of advanced environmental remediation materials.
