Janus monolayer Bi8M2O16XY (M = Nb, Ta; X/Y = Cl, Br, I; X ≠ Y) for photocatalytic overall water splitting with high carrier mobility: A first principles study
Developing novel 2D semiconductors with overall water splitting capacity and high carrier mobility is essential for efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysis. Here, we have designed a novel Janus multicomponent bismuth-layered semiconductor monolayer, Bi8M2O16XY (M = Nb, Ta; X/Y = Cl, Br, I; X ≠ Y). Our findings demonstrate that Bi8M2O16XY exhibits suitable band edge positions and robust stability for overall water splitting. By varying halogen surface coverages, this material achieves a tunable internal electric field (0.06–0.21 eV/Å) and bandgap (2.40–2.89 eV), with carrier mobility reaching ∼103 cm2 V−1 s−1. This study advances the development of innovative multicomponent 2D materials.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
