A Type-Ii Gan/Ins Van Der Waals Heterostructure with High Solar-to-Hydrogen Efficiency of Photocatalyst for Water Splitting

Study on the electronic and optical properties of van der Waals heterostructures of blue phosphorene and Janus-WSeS monolayers for photocatalytic water splitting

“…Not only can heterostructures maintain the advantages of single 2D structures, but they also make up for their disadvantages in electronic and optical properties. [17][18][19][20][21] Thus, heterostructures have attracted the attention of scientists and scholars in recent years. For example, Shahid et al 22 designed a boron phosphide-blue phosphorene vdW heterostructure by boron phosphide and blue phosphorene monolayers, and further studies show that this heterostructure is a potential candidate for water splitting at low pH values.…”
