Metal nanoclusters (involving metals such as platinum) with a diameter smaller than 1 nm were deposited on the interlayer nanospace of KCa 2 Nb 3 O 10 using the electrostatic attraction between a cationic metal complex (e.g., [Pt(NH 3 ) 4 ]Cl 2 ) and a negatively charged two‐dimensional Ca 2 Nb 3 O 10 − sheet, without the aid of any additional reagent. The material obtained possessed eight‐fold greater photocatalytic activity for water splitting into H 2 and O 2 under band‐gap irradiation than the previously reported analog using a RuO 2 promoter. This study highlighted the superior functionality of Pt nanoclusters with diameters smaller than 1 nm for photocatalytic overall water splitting. This material shows the greatest efficiency among nanosheet‐based photocatalysts reported to date.
