Photoelectrochemical water splitting is one of the viable approaches to produce clean hydrogen energy from water. Herein, we report MoS 2 /Si-heterojunction (HJ) photocathode for PEC H 2 production. The MoS 2 /Si-HJ photocathode exhibits exceptional PEC H 2 production performance with a maximum photocurrent density of 36.33 mA/cm 2 , open circuit potential of 0.5 V vs. RHE and achieves improved long-term stability up to 10 h of reaction time. The photocurrent density achieved by MoS 2 /Si-HJ photocathode is significantly higher than most of the MoS 2 coupled Si-based photocathodes reported elsewhere, indicating excellent PEC H 2 production performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
