Titanium dioxide (TiO2) stands out as a versatile transition‐metal oxide with applications ranging from energy conversion/storage and environmental remediation to sensors and optoelectronics. While extensively researched for these emerging applications, TiO2 has also achieved commercial success in various fields including paints, inks, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and advanced medicine. Thanks to the tunability of their structural, morphological, optical, and electronic characteristics, TiO2 nanomaterials are among the most researched engineering materials. Besides these inherent advantages, the low cost, low toxicity, and biocompatibility of TiO2 nanomaterials position them as a sustainable choice of functional materials for energy conversion. Although TiO2 is a classical photocatalyst well‐known for its structural stability and high surface activity, TiO2‐based photocatalysis is still an active area of research particularly in the context of catalyzing artificial photosynthesis. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and emerging trends in TiO2 heterostructures and hybrids for artificial photosynthesis. We begin by discussing the common synthesis methods for TiO2 nanomaterials, including hydrothermal synthesis and sol‐gel synthesis. We then delve into TiO2 nanomaterials and their photocatalytic mechanisms, highlighting the key advancements that have been made in recent years. We discuss the strategies to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2, including surface modification, doping modulation, heterojunction construction, and synergy of composite materials, with a specific emphasis on their applications in artificial photosynthesis. TiO2‐based heterostructures and hybrids present exciting opportunities for catalyzing solar fuel production, organic degradation, and CO2 reduction via artificial photosynthesis. This review offers an overview of the latest trends and advancements, while also highlighting the ongoing challenges and prospects for future developments in this classical yet rapidly evolving field.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Narrow band gap energy semiconductors absorb visible light radiation; however, the ultra-fast electron-hole pair coulombic attraction decreased the life time required to generate reactive oxygen species. [17][18][19][20] In conclusion, a single semiconductor cannot achieve the optimization properties for decomposing the organic pollutants. To overcome the limitations of single photocatalysts, heterojunctions composed of wide band gap energy with high efficiency for charge carrier separation and narrow band gap energy that harvests solar radiation are more favored.…”

Photocatalytic conversion of biomass-derived 5-hydroxyfurfural (HMF) to value-added 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA) is an environmentally friendly process. Here, Ag nanoparticle (NP) supported on TiO 2 (Ag/TiO 2 ) materials with different interfacial structures were fabricated via incipient wetness impregnation. In the photocatalytic oxidation of 5-HMF to HMFCA, low-temperature reduction (473 K) on Ag/TiO 2 could improve the photoinduced charge separation efficiency and promote the reaction due to the "enhanced" localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects achieved through strong metal-support interaction (SMSI). In particular, 2.5 % Ag/TiO 2 -LTR exhibited superior performance with an HMFCA selectivity of up to 96.7 % under visible-light illumination. In contrast, the photocatalytic efficiency was greatly reduced when the reduction temperature increased to 773 K because of the encapsulation of Ag NPs by a thicker TiO x overlay, which significantly weakened visible-light harvesting. Overall, these findings offer an efficient methodology for designing interfacial enhanced plasmonic photocatalysts for the valorization of biomass.
