Pairing　CO2　reduction　with　oxidative　organic　synthesis　in　one　photoredox　cycle　opens　a　new　avenue　for　cooperative　utilization　of　excited　electrons　and　holes　towards　efficient　solar-to-chemical　energy　conversion.　In　this　work,　we　demonstrate　a　facile　cetyltrimethylammonium　bromide　(CTAB)　surfactant　functionalized　ZnIn2S4　(ZIS)-based　dual-functional　reaction　system　for　efficient　visible　light-driven　CO2-to-CO　conversion　pairing　with　selective　oxidation　of　benzyl　alcohol　to　value-added　C-C　coupled　products.　Our　research　suggests　that　the　markedly　enhanced　redox　activities　are　mainly　attributed　to　the　unique　structure　of　CTAB-ZIS　featuring　more　crystalline　and　surface　defects,　which　greatly　promotes　the　interfacial　charge　carrier　transfer,　and　in　particular　elevates　CO2　activation　and　electrons　reducibility.　It　is　anticipated　that　this　work　would　inspire　further　establishment　of　efficient　novel　photocatalysts　and　cooperative　reaction　system　coupling　CO2　reduction　and　organic　synthesis　in　a　cost-effective　manner　under　ambient　conditions　to　meet　the　economic　and　social　sustainability　goals.　(C)　2020　Elsevier　Inc.　All　rights　reserved.
