Perovskite nanosheets of HCa 2− x Sr x Nb 3 O 10 and HCa 2 Nb 3− y Ta y O 10 with controlled band‐edge potentials were prepared. They worked as highly efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for H 2 evolution from a water/methanol mixture under band‐gap irradiation. The activity was found to depend on the composition. The highest activity was obtained with HCa 2 Nb 2 TaO 10 nanosheets, recording an apparent quantum yield of approximately 80 % at 300 nm, which is the highest value for a nanosheet‐based photocatalyst reported to date.
