Abstract

The photocatalysis property and photo-electro properties of the GaN/HfGe₂N₄ heterojunction are investigated, and the application prospects in the fields of photocatalysts and photodetectors are discussed. The designed GaN/HfGe₂N₄ heterojunction is verified to possess thermal stability, and the absorption spectrum of the GaN/HfGe₂N₄ heterojunction is significantly broadened. The GaN/HfGe₂N₄ heterojunction fulfilling the criteria for band edge positions at pH of 0 to 14, indicating which can act as a potential photocatalyst for water splitting. A high photo response (3.73

a_{0}^{2}

/photons) and an extinction ratio (6.81) of the photodetector based on the GaN/HfGe₂N₄ heterojunction have been calculated, demonstrating potential advantage in the area of photodetector applications. In conclusion, the GaN/HfGe₂N₄ heterojunction have the potential for catalytic hydrogen evolution and application in photodetectors.

期刊介绍： The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results. Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
