To address aggravated environmental pollution and global energy crisis the use of solar energy for the water splitting reaction has emerged as a promising strategy. However, suffers from the need to develop highly efficient and stable (metal‐free) photocatalysts. Recently, black phosphorus (BP)‐based semiconductor heterojunctions have received wide attention as promising photocatalytic candidates. The recent progress together with a perspective on the challenges and future directions in this field is given in the Minireview by R. Shi, Y. Chen et al. on page 4449 ff.
