Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are now at the forefront of the state‐of‐the‐art photovoltaic technologies due to their high efficiency and low fabrication costs. To further realize the potential of this fascinating class of solar cells, nanostructured functional materials have been playing important roles. 2D layered materials have attracted a great deal of interest due to their fascinating properties and unique structure. Recently, the exploration of a wide range of novel 2D materials for use in PSCs has seen considerable progress, but still a lot remains to be done in this field. In this progress report, the advancements that have recently been made in the application of these emerging 2D materials, beyond graphene, for PSCs are presented. Both the advantages and challenges of these 2D materials for PSCs are highlighted. Finally, important directions for the future advancements toward efficient, low‐cost, and stable PSCs are outlined.
