Abstract
The exploration of advanced and novel photocatalytic materials has been widely investigated in recent years. MXene, a new two-dimensional (2D) transition metal material, is gaining attention as a suitable alternative for promoting photocatalytic performance because of its flexible adjustability of elemental composition, regular layered structure, and excellent electrical conductivity. This Perspective summarizes the recent significant advancements in 2D MXene-based photocatalysts for solar fuel conversion. The rational design and specific effects of MXene-based photocatalysts for photocatalytic solar fuel generation are described. Moreover, the different roles of MXene in MXene-based photocatalysts, such as functional group provider, photocatalytic electronic acceptor, substrate, and cocatalyst, for improving photocatalytic performance are discussed. Further discussion about the challenges and optimizations for improvements of 2D MXene and MXene-based photocatalysts in the context of promising solar fuel generation is also presented.
