Although they are widely used as cocatalysts in promoting photocatalysis, practical application of noble metals is limited by their high cost and rarity. Development of noble‐metal‐free cocatalysts is thus highly demanded. Herein titanium carbide (Ti3C2) MXene is shown to be a highly efficient noble...
