Photocatalytic Applications of ReS2-Based Heterostructures

Abstract

ReS2-based heterostructures, which involve the coupling of a narrow band-gap semiconductor ReS2 with other wide band-gap semiconductors, have shown promising performance in energy conversion and environmental pollution protection in recent years. This review focuses on the preparation methods, encompassing hydrothermal, chemical vapor deposition, and exfoliation techniques, as well as achievements in correlated applications of ReS2-based heterostructures, including type-I, type-II heterostructures, and Z-scheme heterostructures for hydrogen evolution, reduction of CO2, and degradation of pollutants. We believe that this review provides an overview of the most recent advances to guide further research and development of ReS2-based heterostructures for photocatalysis.

Fast-Response Micro-Phototransistor Based on MoS2/Organic Molecule Heterojunction

“…which show the gradual enhancement of the drain current to the saturation area in the laser pulse irradiation This process results in a gradual enhancement of the drain current to the saturation area in the laser pulse irradiation.. An accumulation of the photo-generated electrons continues in the active areauntil anequilibrium stateis achieved after multiple absorption and desorption cycles of oxygen molecules. After a number absorption and desorption cycles of oxygen molecules, photo-generated electrons continue to accumulate in the active area until an equilibrium state is achieved [52,53]. By contrast, in the VOPc-covered MoS2 FET, the oxygen molecules are unable to interact with the surface.…”
