Harvesting　abundant　and　environmentally　friendly　near　infrared　(NIR)　light　in　the　solar　spectrum　is　particularly　significant　to　improve　the　utilization　of　the　cleanest　energy　on　the　earth.　One　of　the　most　effective　methods　to　improve　the　photocatalytic　efficiency　of　semiconductors　in　the　full-solar　spectrum　is　combining　upconversion　luminescence　materials　with　semiconductors.　In　this　work,　a　novel　ZnS@YF3:Yb3+,Er3+　heterojunction　as　a　full　spectrum　photocatalyst　via　a　hydrothermal　synthesis　method　is　reported,　which　was　applied　in　hydrogen　production　and　pollutants　disposal.　Under　metal　halide　lamp　irradiation　with　UV-Vis-NIR　light,　ZnS@YF3:Yb3+,Er3+　exhibited　higher　photocatalytic　performance　compared　to　pure　ZnS.　In　addition,　the　20%　YF3:Yb3+,Er3+/ZnS　sample　showed　the　highest　chemical　stability　and　strongest　reduction　ability.　This　was　mainly　attributed　to　the　effective　fluorescence　resonance　energy　transfer　of　YF3:Yb3+,Er3+/ZnS,　the　broader　light　absorption　and　the　efficient　transfer　of　photoinduced　electrons.　Moreover,　the　O-2(-)　and　OH　free　radicals　were　the　main　reactive　species.　This　study　suggests　a　promising　system　to　efficiently　utilize　the　visible-NIR　solar　energy　of　sunlight　for　processing　industrial　waste　water　and　alleviating　the　energy　crisis　in　the　future.
