Abstract: The photocatalytic water splitting technique is a promising alternative to produce hydrogen using a facile and proficient method. In the current Review, recent progress made in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using 2D nanomaterials (NMs) and composite heterostructures is described. The strong in-plane chemical bonds along with weak van der Waals interaction make these materials lucrative for surface-related applications. State-of-the-art protocols designed for the synthesis of 2D NMs is discus… Show more

“…Exfoliating bulk carbon nitride (Bulk CN) into ultrathin structure is deemed to be one of the most efficient approaches . Furthermore, the ultrathin CN (UCN) possesses increased specific surface area, which enables abundant surface adsorption/active sites for photocatalytic reaction . For another, the charge migration distance from the interior to the surface can be shortened due to the reduced thickness of UCN, and then the charge separation/migration efficiency can be improved .…”

“…Since the groundbreaking discovery of mono-layered graphene [6], plenty of newly developed 2D materials have been applied in many fields including energy storage [7], electrocatalysis [8], sensing [9], and photocatalysis [10]. Particularly, the utilization of 2D materials for photocatalysis has triggered considerable interest, and promptly become one of the hottest research topics [11][12][13]. It has been demonstrated that 2D material-based photocatalysts are expected to offer intriguing features such as high specific surface areas, porous structures, good conductivity and superior electron mobility, rich options of host-guest species and abundant surface active sites, which are beneficial to photocatalytic reactions [14,15].…”

“…It is a highly efficient energy carrier (143 MJ kg -1 ) and it is mainly applied in fuel cells [3]. Green hydrogen can be produced from water electrolysis [4,5], photocatalytic methods [6,7], and from steam reforming of organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, glycerol, acetic acid, acetol, and methane [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In the latter process, ethanol steam reforming (ESR) to produce hydrogen is a green and promising process because ethanol is a green material arising from biomass via conventional fermentation [22][23][24][25].…”
