Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has attracted increasing attention due to its potential to mitigate energy and environmental issues. Hybrid PEC systems containing semiconductor photosensitizers and molecular catalysts are reported to be highly active and stable for water splitting with great potential for facilitating clean fuels production. In this review, following a showcasing of the fundamental details of hybrid PEC systems for water splitting, semiconductor/molecular catalyst interface designs are highlighted, with a focus on interfacial physicochemical interactions and binding, and interfacial energetics and dynamics for efficient charge transfer. Recent advances in hybrid system assemblies for PEC water splitting are also briefly introduced. Finally, future challenges and directions in the field of hybrid PEC water splitting for solar energy conversion are reviewed. The current review provides state‐of‐the‐art strategies for optimized interface design for creating highly active and stable PEC water splitting assemblies.

2D oxide nanomaterials constitute a broad range of materials, with a wide array of current and potential applications, particularly in the fields of energy storage and catalysis for sustainable energy production. Despite the many similarities in structure, composition, and synthetic methods and uses, the current literature on layered oxides is diverse and disconnected. A number of reviews can be found in the literature, but they are mostly focused on one of the particular subclasses of 2D oxides. This review attempts to bridge the knowledge gap between individual layered oxide types by summarizing recent developments in all important 2D oxide systems including supported ultrathin oxide films, layered clays and double hydroxides, layered perovskites, and novel 2D-zeolite-based materials. Particular attention is paid to the underlying similarities and differences between the various materials, and the subsequent challenges faced by each research community. The potential of layered oxides toward future applications is critically evaluated, especially in the areas of electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, biomass conversion, and fine chemical synthesis. Attention is also paid to corresponding novel 3D materials that can be obtained via sophisticated engineering of 2D oxides.

“…As a result, the excess emission of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) leads to the climate change and serious environmental issues [2,3] . The conversion of CO 2 to useful chemicals or liquid fuels as the renewable energy resources is a highly promising approach to addressing the forthcoming energy crisis and environmental issues [4] . Due to the sluggish reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide reduction (CDR), various approaches (such as photochemical, thermochemical, and electrochemical method) are developing to reduce the energy barrier and improve the activity, selectivity for achieving the sustainable carbon recycling [5] .…”
