• By fully considering its hydrophobic/electron-rich cavity, planar chirality, as well as rigid chemical structures, pillar[n]arene has the capacity of contributing its molecular recognition, self-assembly, as well as thus obtained advanced hierarchical materials in photocatalysis. In this review, we discussed and summarized the recent progress in pillar[n]arene-based photocatalysis. Interestingly, it was found that pillar[n]arene played diverse roles in photocatalysis, for example, providing host–guest interactions as phase transfer catalyst in photoreduction/dehalogenation/oxidation for improving the water-solubility of substrates and functional molecules, contributing hydrophobic/electron-rich cavity, inducing planar chirality as homogenous catalyst in photocyclodimerization/redox/dehalogenation for catalyzing selective substrates, and serving as building blocks or reactive sites in the fabrication of hierarchical (hybrid) heterogenous catalyst in selective reactions. Graphical abstract The recent progress about pillar[n]arene-based phase transfer catalysts, homogeneous catalysts and heterogeneous catalysts in photocatalysis was summarized in this review.
