A wider scope in topological semimetals accelerates various attractive quantum phenomena for the last two decades. We here report the detailed investigation of magnetic Co3Sn2S2 Weyl semimetal based on the cobalt accompanied kagome lattice for the first time. We emphasize the highly motivated theoretical and experimental analyses in each topological terms of Co3Sn2S2 that led to intensifying emergent topological materials with inherent properties, particularly in the pursuance of magnetic rich quantum anomalous Hall effect. We additionally highlight the Co3Sn2S2 surface band structure, recognized in the diverse fields of study from the perception of topological properties to modern electrochemistry approaches. From materials perspective, this typical kagome Co3Sn2S2 Weyl semimetal alone has extensively covered more enriching nontrivial surface states than topological insulators and nonmagnetic semimetals even in the absence of magnetic field and external strain. Some specific examples include Weyl nodes linked flat band magnetism, a large anomalous Hall effect, anomalous Hall angle, giant magnetooptical effect, and thermomagnetic Nernst effect. In addition, we selectively extend the review on the undisputed surface band characteristics of Co3Sn2S2, by which a major concept of magnetic Weyl semimetal could hierarchically meet the contemporary quantum phenomena. This strongly led to more focus on nontrivial magnetic topological studies for gaining insightful perspectives.
