Summary:The development of novel photocatalysts employing two‐dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has demonstrated potential for photocatalysis under visible light with exceptional performance for remediating ecological pollution. The chapter presents a brief summary of the chemical synthesis, characterization at the nanoscale, and applications in the photocatalytic area of four categories of 2D materials, i.e. graphene oxide (GO), graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ), molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), and hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN). More specifically, the recent advancement of 2D nanomaterials and the emerging approaches to enhance their photoactivity in the field of photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants are summarized.
