Abstract
Abstract This study focuses on the utilization of two‐dimensional Ti 3 C 2 MXene as a catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen production. MXenes, a class of transition metal carbides/nitrides, exhibit exceptional properties conducive to enhancing photocatalytic reactions. This research explores the performance of Ti 3 C 2 MXene as a cocatalyst in photocatalytic systems, aiming to improve charge separation, inhibit recombination, and facilitate efficient hydrogen evolution from water under light irradiation. The synthesis methods, catalyst‐loading strategies, and overall photocatalytic mechanisms are investigated, shedding light on the potential of Ti 3 C 2 MXene as a promising material for advancing hydrogen production through sustainable means.
