Here, we report a bioinspired, defect\u2010encoded solar metallurgical platform based on copper sulfide (Cu\n                    <jats:sub>31<\/jats:sub>\n                    S\n                    <jats:sub>16<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) that couples light harvesting, photothermal conversion, and intrinsic redox functionality. Copper\u2010vacancy\u2010induced mid\u2010gap states enhance broadband solar absorption, localized thermal amplification, and photoexcited charge generation, while soft sulfide coordination sites selectively bind Au(III). This co\u2010localized photothermal\u2010photochemical coupling accelerates interfacial transport and complete multielectron reduction to Au(0), and uniquely triggers a light\u2010sustained nucleation\u2010growth process that culminates in spontaneous self\u2010abscission of millimetre\u2010scale, high\u2010purity gold. The integrated mechanism overcomes site\u2010saturation, delivering an ultrahigh uptake capacity of 6274\u00a0mg g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    , near\u2010instantaneous kinetics (&gt;95% removal within 15 s), near\u2010unity selectivity (K\n                    <jats:sub>d<\/jats:sub>\n                    = 2.5 \u00d7 10\n                    <jats:sup>7<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u00a0mL g\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    ), and wide pH range operation.
