Heterogeneous photocatalysis provides a promising strategy to generate renewable fuels by harnessing solar energy. Metal heteroanionic photocatalysts have gained attention for their visible-light absorption; however, they are also plagued by photocorrosion, which limits their long-term use. Such photocorrosion occurs from photooxidation of the less electronegative nonoxide ions, leading to decomposition of the material’s lattice. In this Perspective, we highlight emerging strategies to develop durable metal heteroanionic photocatalysts. We devote attention to the approaches taken for model metal oxynitrides, oxysulfides, and oxyhalide photocatalysts to provide a holistic framework. This analysis emphasizes the vital roles that interface engineering, charge carrier extraction, and crystal and electronic structure play in providing photodurability. We believe that through these approaches, durable and visible-light-absorbing artificial photosynthetic systems can be developed for a sustainable future.
