1D/2D Heterostructured Photocatalysts: From Design and Unique Properties to Their Environmental Applications

With the progress of dissimilar dimensional materials, 1D and 2D materials are extensively investigated as heterogeneous photocatalysts, which realize the unique dimensionality ‐dependent advantages and mitigate the disadvantages during environmental and sustainable energy applications. 1D/2D heterojunctions could present rapid carrier transfer along the 1D nanostructures and prevent charge recombination by matching the band potential and interface engineering. AbstractWith the progress of dissimilar dimensional materials, 1D and 2D materials have been extensively investigated as heterogeneous photocatalysts, which realize the unique dimensionality ‐dependent advantages and mitigate the disadvantages during the environmental and sustainable energy applications. The progress in 1D/2D heterogeneous photocatalysts stems from the combination of different growth modes between 1D and 2D nanostructures and the judicious control to establish the ori ented 1D/2D interface. To promote this field, it is necessary to gain insights into the interface engineering in the 1D/2D heterogeneous photocatalysts. This mini‐review summarizes the designed synthesis and application of dimensional heterogeneous photocatalysts from 1D and 2D materials. Some typ ical research to overview the advantages of different types of interface engineered 1D/2D heterogeneous photocatalysts for various photocatalytic processes is highlighted in detail. At last, this review ends by drawing on more design strat...
