NaInS 2 , a H 2 ‐evolving photocatalyst, is synthesized as single‐crystalline hexagonal plates by coupling a molten salt synthesis with ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) for the first time. USP NaInS 2 films are used as a new photoanode material and have an initial photocurrent of ≈37 μA/cm 2 upon illumination and activities 25 times greater than films made from a standard non‐aerosol NaInS 2 sample.
