Abstract Hydrogen production through facile photocatalytic water splitting is regarded as a promising strategy to solve global energy problems. Transition‐metal carbides (MXenes) have recently drawn attention as potential co‐catalyst candidates for photocatalysts. Here, we report niobium pentoxide/carbon/niobium carbide (MXene) hybrid materials (Nb ₂ O ₅ /C/Nb ₂ C) as photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from water splitting. The Nb ₂ O ₅ /C/Nb ₂ C composites were synthesized by one‐step CO ₂ oxidation of Nb ₂ CT _x . Nb ₂ O ₅ grew homogeneously on Nb ₂ C after mild oxidation, during which some amorphous carbon was also formed. With an optimized oxidation time of 1.0 h, Nb ₂ O ₅ /C/Nb ₂ C showed the highest hydrogen generation rate (7.81 μmol h ⁻¹ g _cat ⁻¹ ), a value that was four times higher than that of pure Nb ₂ O ₅ . The enhanced performance of Nb ₂ O ₅ /C/Nb ₂ C was attributed to intimate contact between Nb ₂ O ₅ and conductive Nb ₂ C and the separation of photogenerated charge carriers at the Nb ₂ O ₅ /Nb ₂ C interface; the results presented herein show that transition‐metal carbide are promising co‐catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production.
