The development of efficient visible‐light‐driven photocatalysts is one of the critically important issues for solar hydrogen production. Herein, high‐efficiency visible‐light‐driven In 2 O 3 /CdZnS hybrid photocatalysts are explored by a facile oil‐bath method, in which ultrafine CdZnS nanoparticles are anchored on NH 2 ‐MIL‐68‐derived fusiform In 2 O 3 mesoporous nanorods. It is disclosed that the as‐prepared In 2 O 3 /CdZnS hybrid photocatalysts exhibit enhanced visible‐light harvesting, improves charges transfer and separation as well as abundant active sites. Correspondingly, their visible‐light‐driven H 2 production rate is significantly enhanced for more than 185 times to that of pristine In 2 O 3 nanorods, and superior to most of In 2 O 3 ‐based photocatalysts ever reported, representing their promising applications in advanced photocatalysts.
