Abstract This review provides a critical evaluation of the photocatalytic processes that control efficiency transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and their hybrid composites in notable applications, including pollutant abatement, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen (OER), carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction. TMDCs possess excellent physicochemical characteristics with tuneable bandgaps, large surface area, intense visible‐light absorption render them exceptionally competent for initiating photo‐induced redox reactions. The highlights mechanistic understanding concerning charge carrier generation separation, defect engineering, interfacial electron transfer, all which is key to improved performance. Particular focus on degradation mechanisms, water splitting kinetics, CO₂ photoreduction mechanisms. Though promising, face challenges such as photo‐corrosion, short‐term stability issues, scale‐up limitations. To overcome these challenges, formation heterojunctions visible‐light‐active semiconductors, halide perovskites, emphasized potential method enhance separation broaden spectral response. Furthermore, integration cocatalysts design multicomponent heterostructures are investigated methods promote durability efficiency. emphasizes central role developing scalable sustainable systems environmental energy applications.
