Defect‐rich ultrathin ZnAl‐layered double hydroxide nanosheets are successfully prepared. Under UV–vis irradiation, these nanosheets are superior efficient catalysts for the photoreduction of CO 2 to CO with water. The formed oxygen vacancies lead to the formation of coordinatively unsaturated Zn + centers within the nanosheets, responsible for the very high photocatalytic activities.
