Abstract
2D MoS2/BiOBr van der Waals heterojunctions can be used for photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production. The Cover Feature shows a MoS2/BiOBr heterojunction working as a photocathode. The photogenerated electrons from BiOBr mainly flow into two directions: one is migrating towards the MoS2 surface, driving the hydrogen evolution reaction; the other is accumulating on BiOBr and reduces BiOBr to metallic Bi. However, in a heterojunction with small ratio of MoS2, the electrons are prone to transfer to MoS2, thus decreasing the accumulation of electrons on BiOBr and preventing it from deactivation. More information can be found in the Research Article by Mengjiao Wang, Francesco Lamberti, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202400282).
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
