“…However, these catalysts come with a drawback of high costs and stability issues, making them less desirable for the large-scale production of photovoltaic devices [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. In light of these challenges, researchers have turned their attention toward 2D chalcogenides as promising alternatives due to their unique properties and environmental friendliness [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Particularly, with special exposed high-energy facets, 2D chalcogenide can promote charge migration across both the electrolyte and the photoelectrode interface and increase photon–matter interaction via multiple reflection and scattering at the electrolyte inter-face, which will provide much higher catalytic activity [ 15 , 16 ].…”
