“…Other than that, when Co–Co layered double hydroxide (LDH) was coupled with Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets to form Co–Co-LDH/TNS nanoarrays, Chen et al posed a massive spike in the CO 2 -to-CO evolving rate (12 500 μmol g −1 h −1 ) with the aid of Ru-based photosensitizers, which had outstanding stability (>25 h, 5 cycles) and a high AQY (0.92%). 183 Furthermore, other works using LDH such as 2D/2D NiAl-LDH/Ti 3 C 2 by Shi et al 184 and 2D/2D ZnCr-LDH/Ti 3 C 2 T x by Zhou et al 47 were found to divulge superb CO 2 RR capability with CO selectivities of 92% and 86%, respectively, which were much higher than those in the aforementioned works. All the robust performances from LDH-incorporated systems are largely attributed to the compositional flexibility of LDHs, which is the result of the universal applicability of cations in layers and anions in the interlayer, granting them to expeditiously cull the appropriate cations and anions for a tailored electronic structure and active centers for specific photocatalytic reactions.…”

There are more studies showing the feasibility of MXene-based coupled heterostructures in the CO 2 RR such as V s -CdS/Ti 3 C 2 , 12 SnO 2 /MXene, 44 Ru/Ti 3 CN/TiO 2 , 45 Cu/Ti 3 C 2 T x /g-C 3 N 4 , 46 ZnCr-LDH/Ti 3 C 2 T x 47 and Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 /Ti 3 C 2 T x . 48 Therefore, to fully understand the structure–activity relationship of MXenes in heterojunctions, the necessity of a review that summarizes the recent studies is in urge.…”

“…Clearly, the NiS/BiVO 4 photocatalyst under light irradiation produces more ˙O 2 − than BiVO 4 , which indicates that the reductive activity of O 2 adsorbed on the NiS/BiVO 4 surface obtains a remarkably higher enhancement than that of BiVO 4 . 46,47 Moreover, the rapid depletion of photogenerated holes from BiVO 4 also contributes to the O 2 reduction to H 2 O 2 . Thus, photocatalytic degradation experiment is further used to verify that the selectively modified NiS cocatalyst can improve the interfacial catalytic activity.…”
Lacking effective active sites on the BiVO4 surface severely restricts the photocatalytic H2O2-formation activity. As a promising and mainstream cocatalyst, NiS with rich active sites is widely applied to improve...
“…45 In the case of ZnCr-LDH/Ti 3 C 2 T x heterostructures, the Fermi energy of ZnCr-LDH is higher than that of Ti 3 C 2 T x ; hence the electrons from ZnCr-LDH are driven to Ti 3 C 2 T x to equilibrate the Fermi energy between them. 47 During photocatalysis, the energy band of ZnCr-LDH bends upwards, producing a Schottky barrier. Under light irradiation, the photogenerated electrons migrate along the Schottky junction to the MXene, achieving effective electron separation.…”

“…More importantly, MXene/LDH hybrids with weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions can preserve the individual intrinsic characteristics of each 2D layered material while exposing an immense contact interface between them, which is highly benecial for energy storage and electrocatalysis applications. As a result of the synergy from the heterointerface, remarkable advances have appeared in the elds of supercapacitors (hybrid, asymmetric, and all solid-state), 27,[34][35][36][37] batteries (Li-ion and metal-air), electrochemical water splitting, [38][39][40][41][42][43] photocatalytic/electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), [44][45][46][47] sensors (gas and glucose), 48,49 anti-corrosion, ame retardancy, 28 and electromagnetic wave absorbers. 50 Scheme 1 summarizes the properties, problems, and prospects of MXenes and LDHs.…”
