In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained significant attention in photocatalytic applications due to their unique thickness-dependent physiochemical properties. These materials offer enhanced functionality compared to traditional three-dimensional (3D) photocatalysts due to their modified chemical composition, electronic structures, and abundant surface active sites. This book aims to provide an up-to-date introduction to the design and use of 2D-related photo(electro)catalysts, covering various application areas such as fine chemicals synthesis, water splitting, CO2 reduction, and N2 fixation. It also delves into catalyst design and preparation, discussing typical 2D and 2D-related materials like layered double hydroxides (LDHs), layered metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs), metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), graphene, g-C3N4, and more. The book emphasizes the classification of these materials and their relationships between structure and property, with a focus on improving their performance for practical applications. While the primary focus of the book is on experimental studies, computational results are also provided as a necessary reference. Written by expert researchers in their respective fields, Photocatalysis Using 2D Nanomaterials serves as a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and other researchers seeking to explore these topics in depth.
