Abstract:Two-dimensional (2D) layered nanomaterial heterostructures,
arising
from the combination of 2D materials with other low-dimensional species,
feature a large surface area to volume ratio, which provides a high
density of active sites for catalytic applications and for (photo)electrocatalysis
(PEC). Meanwhile, their electronic band structure and high electrical
conductivity enable efficient charge transfer (CT) between the active
material and the substrate, which is essential for catalytic activity.
