Heterogeneous　photocatalysis　is　a　promising　strategy　for　addressing　the　worldwide　environmental　pollution　and　energy　shortage　issues.　However,　unlike　TiO2　with　good　photostability,　the　intrinsic　drawback　of　photoinduced　decomposition,　i.e.,　photocorrosion,　of　semiconductors　significantly　challenges　durable　photocatalysis.　In　this　review,　the　photocorrosion　mechanisms　of　typical　semiconductors　and　different　characterization　methods　proposed　for　monitoring　the　photocorrosion　process　of　semiconductor-based　composite　photocatalysts　are　elaborated.　Dedicated　emphasis　is　put　on　the　strategies　for　improving　the　anti-photocorrosion　property　of　semiconductor-based　photocatalysts,　including　modifying　the　crystal　structure　or　morphology　of　semiconductors,　doping　with　heteroatoms,　hybridizing　with　various　semiconductors　and/or　cocatalysts,　and　regulating　the　photocatalytic　reaction　conditions.　Finally,　we　cast　a　personal　prospect　on　the　future　development　of　the　rational　design　of　corrosion-controlled　semiconductor-based　photocatalysts　toward　versatile　photoredox　applications.
