Semiconductor heterostructures have attracted intensive research attention during the past few years owing to their great potential for energy and environmental remediation related applications. Effective optical absorption and efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers are among the key factors for achieving high efficiency in a photocatalytic process. This mini-review summarizes state-of-the-art activities in designing nanosemiconductor heterostructures using multifunctional semiconductors for solar-to-hydrogen conversion and degradation of organic pollutants. Various novel design strategies such as semiconductor/graphene heterojunctions including graphene as a semimetal and photosensitizer, semiconductor/ferromagnetic, and semiconductor/ferroelectric nanoheterostructures for enhancing the performance of photocatalytic processes have been discussed. Finally, key challenges and future prospects for designing more efficient photocatalytic materials are briefly outlined.
