Silicon carbide (SiC) has emerged as a robust and tunable semiconductor for advanced photocatalytic applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the development of SiC-based materials for environmental remediation and solar-driven hydrogen production. Key aspects discussed include morphological engineering, heterostructure design, doping strategies, and plasmonic enhancement. Emphasis is placed on structure–activity relationships, insights from density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning (ML) models, and synergistic effects in composite systems. This review concludes with a critical analysis of current challenges and future research directions, highlighting the potential of SiC implementation as a sustainable platform for next-generation photocatalytic technologies.
