Utilization of diffusive solar energy through photocatalytic processes for environmental purification and fuel production has long been pursued. However, efficient capture of visible–near‐infrared (NIR) photons, especially for those with wavelengths longer than 600 nm, is a demanding quest in photocatalysis owing to their relatively low energy. In recent years, benefiting from the advances in photoactive material design, photocatalytic reaction system optimization, and new emerging mechanisms for long‐wavelength photon activation, increasing numbers of studies on the harnessing of visible–NIR light for solar‐to‐chemical energy conversion have been reported. Here, the aim is to comprehensively summarize the progress in this area. The main strategies of the long‐wavelength visible–NIR photon capture and the explicitly engineered material systems, i.e., narrow optical gap, photosensitizers, upconversion, and photothermal materials, are elaborated. In addition, the advances in long‐wavelength light‐driven photo‐ and photothermal‐catalytic environmental remediation and fuel production are discussed. It is anticipated that this review presents the forefront achievements in visible–NIR photon capture and at the same time promotes the development of novel visible–NIR photon harnessing catalysts toward efficient solar energy utilization. Recent progress in visible–NIR photon capture is reviewed. Distinct strategies and explicitly engineered material systems to harvest visible–NIR light, and the advances in visible–NIR‐driven photo‐ and photothermal‐catalytic environmental remediation and fuel production are presented. Moreover, perspectives on the challenges along with opportunities for further development of visible–NIR solar photon conversion through photo and photothermal processes are discussed.
