## Abstract Designing a semiconductor‐based heterostructure photocatalyst for achieving the efficient separation of photogenerated electron‐hole pairs is highly important for enhancing H~2~ releasing photocatalysis. Here, a new class of Ni~1−~~x~Co~x~Se~2~–C/ZnIn~2~S~4~ hierarchical nanocages with abundant and compact ZnIn~2~S~4~ nanosheets/Ni~1−~~x~Co~x~Se~2~^^C nanosheets 2D/2D hetero–interfaces, is designed and synthesized. The constructed heterostructure photocatalyst exposes rich hetero‐junctions, supplying the broad and short transfer paths for charge carriers. The close contacts of these two kinds of nanosheets induce a strong interaction between ZnIn~2~S~4~ and Ni~1−~~x~Co~x~Se~2~C, improving the separation and transfer of photo‐generated electron‐hole pairs. As a consequence, the distinctive Ni~1−~~x~Co~x~Se~2~C/ZnIn~2~S~4~ hierarchical nanocages without using additional noble‐metal cocatalysts, display remarkable H~2~‐relaesing photocatalytic activity with a rate of 5.10 mmol g^−1^ h^−1^ under visible light irradiation, which is 6.2 and 30 times higher than those of fresh ZnIn~2~S~4~ nanosheets and bare Ni~1−~~x~Co~x~Se~2~C nanocages, respectively.
