Photocatalytic technology is considered as one of effective approaches to address increasingly serious problems environment and energy. To boost the photocatalytic efficiency, innovative cocatalysts have been extensively explored investigated in recent years. Mo 2 C MXene a new two‐dimensional layer cocatalyst gained increasing attentions for promoting performance owing high specific surface area, excellent hydrophilic surface, outstanding metallic conductivity, flexible adjustability sites. However, compared with traditional Ti 3 cocatalyst, has not fully systematically summarized published articles field. In this review, advances about synthesis, modification, applications, our outlook are comprehensively summarized. First, synthetic methods introduced, including top‐down route down‐top route. Moreover, four modification strategies (constructing heterojunction, doping heteroatom, controlling morphology, modifying termination) illustrated. Subsequently, applications H production, CO reduction, pollutants degradation thoroughly discussed. Finally, crucial challenges important outlooks solar‐to‐fuel conversion proposed deliver novel insights design high‐efficiency cocatalyst‐modified photocatalysts.
