Interface Engineering, Charge Carrier Dynamics, and Solar-Driven Applications of Halide Perovskite/2D Material Heterostructured Photocatalysts

Halide perovskites (HPs), renowned for their intriguing optoelectronic properties, such as robust light absorption coefficient, long charge transfer distance, and tunable band structure, have emerged as a focal point in the field of photocatalysis. However, the photocatalytic performance of HPs is still inhibited by rapid charge recombination, insufficient band potential energy, and limited number of surface active sites. To overcome these limitations, the integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials, characterized by shortened charge transfer pathways and expansive surface areas, into HP/2D heterostructures presents a promising avenue to achieve exceptional interfacial properties, including extensive light absorption, efficient charge separation and transfer, energetic redox capacity, and adjustable surface characteristics. Herein, a comprehensive review delving into fundamentals, interfacial engineering, and charge carrier dynamics of HP/2D material heterostructures is presented. Numerous HP/2D material photocatalysts fabricated through diverse strategies and interfacial architectures are systematically described and categorized. More importantly, the enhanced charge carrier dynamics and surface properties of the HP/2D material heterostructures are thoroughly investigated and discussed. Finally, an analysis of the challenges faced in the development of HP/2D photocatalysts, alongside insightful recommendations for potential strategies to overcome these barriers, is provided.
