In comparison with the hybridization with 0D TiO 2 nanoparticle, 2D layered TiO 2 nanosheets are much more effective in the improvement of the photocatalytic activity and photostability of semiconducting compounds. The 2D TiO 2 –Ag 3 PO 4 nanohybrid described in this paper shows a greater decrease in the electron‐hole recombination upon hybridization and a stronger chemical interaction between the components than the 0D homologue. This result confirms the benefits of 2D layered TiO 2 nanosheets as a building block for efficient hybrid‐type photocatalyst materials.
