This book explores the groundbreaking potential of two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D-NMs) in photocatalytic hydrogen generation, a promising avenue for clean and sustainable energy. It begins by introducing hydrogen as a clean energy carrier and highlighting the crucial role of photocatalysis in its production. Subsequent chapters delve into the principles of photocatalysis, various types of 2D-photocatalysts (e.g., graphene, Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs), etc.), and their synthesis techniques. The book examines the mechanisms of hydrogen evolution, offering a comparative analysis of different 2D-NMs and recent breakthroughs. Surface modification, nanostructuring strategies, and mechanistic insights are discussed to enhance photocatalytic performance. Beyond hydrogen generation, the book explores environmental applications such as water purification and CO2 reduction. Finally, it addresses the challenges in stability and scalability, offering future directions and successful case studies. This comprehensive resource is essential for researchers and engineers seeking to advance hydrogen generation technologies using innovative nanomaterials.
