Semiconductor‐based photocatalysis technology has attracted widespread attention due to its great potential for solving both energy and environmental problems through direct utilization of inexhaustible solar energy. Among various photocatalysts, 2D/2D Z‐scheme heterojunctions exhibit superior performance in various photocatalytic applications, due to their large interfacial contact and rapid Z‐scheme charge transfer with the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers and maximized redox ability. In this review, the historical development of, requirements for the formation of, and identification methods of Z‐scheme heterojunctions are first introduced, followed by the summary of important advantages of 2D materials and 2D/2D heterojunctions in photocatalysis. Subsequently, a special focus is put on the recent advances of 2D/2D Z‐scheme heterojunctions for photocatalytic applications, including photocatalytic H2 production, CO2 reduction, and degradation of pollutants. Finally, a brief summary and perspectives on the challenges and future research topics of 2D/2D Z‐scheme heterojunction photocatalysts are presented.

“…By coupling g-C 3 N 4 with BiVO 4 nanoplates, Xie et al fabricated a g-C 3 N 4 / BiVO 4 heterojunction photocatalyst for overall water splitting. [59] In the photocatalytic activity test, samples were dispersed in pure water without the addition of sacrifice agent. 3 wt% Pt was deposited as cocatalyst.…”

50 years ago, Fujishima and Honda published their work on photoelectrocatalytic water splitting with the aid of the light absorbing semiconductor TiO 2 . Since then, many different novel absorber materials for water splitting have been discovered and investigated. This Minireview aims to briefly summarize the most important materials developments for photocatalytic water splitting of that time, differentiating between single absorbers and Z-schemes.
