Recent progress in the synthesis and assembly of two-dimensional (2D) materials has laid the foundation for various applications of atomically thin layer films. These 2D materials possess rich and diverse properties such as layer-dependent band gaps, interesting spin degrees of freedom, and variable crystal structures. They exhibit broad application prospects in micro-nano devices. In the meantime, the wide bandgap semiconductors (WBS) with an elevated breakdown voltage, high mobility, and high thermal conductivity have shown important applications in high-frequency microwave devices, high-temperature and high-power electronic devices. Beyond the study on single 2D materials or WBS materials, the multi-functional 2D/WBS heterostructures can promote the carrier transport at the interface, potentially providing novel physical phenomena and applications, and improving the performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this review, we overview the advantages of the heterostructures of 2D materials and WBS materials, and introduce the construction methods of 2D/WBS heterostructures. Then, we present the diversity and recent progress in the applications of 2D/WBS heterostructures, including photodetectors, photocatalysis, sensors, and energy related devices. Finally, we put forward the current challenges of 2D/WBS heterostructures and propose the promising research directions in the future.
