Abstract
Abstract Harnessing sunlight for photocatalytic overall water splitting offers a sustainable approach to renewable hydrogen (H 2 ) production, addressing global energy and environmental challenges. However, the development of efficient and durable photocatalysts remains a significant obstacle. This study introduces the design and performance of a 2D/2D Schottky heterojunction composed of Cu 2 [CuTCPP] MOF of nanometric size and exfoliated Ti 3 C 2 MXene for visible‐light‐driven overall water splitting. By leveraging the extensive interfacial contact between the two components, an interfacial electric field is generated, promoting efficient charge migration and prolonging carrier lifetimes, as confirmed through…
