A direct Z-scheme HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure photocatalyst with tunable electronic properties through external electric field and applied biaxial strain
In this paper, the structural and electronic properties of the HfSSe/BSe van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure have been modulated by using external electric field and applied biaxial strain. The H1-stacking in SSe contact of the HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure is thermodynamic, thermal and dynamical stable. The smaller direct band gap of 0.70 eV than the indirect band gaps of 0.96 and 2.62 eV for the constituent monolayers HfSSe and BSe respectively exhibits the HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure a broader range of solar light absorption. The direct Z-scheme mechanism makes the HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure an efficient spatial separation of the photogenerated carriers and a strong redox ability. Furthermore, the external electric fields (−0.50 to 0.50 V/Å) can effectively modulate the band alignments, the band gaps and induce band type transitions of the HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure from metal → semiconductor (type-II → type-I → type-II) → metal at the turning points of −0.40, −0.20, 0.00, 0.13 V/Å, respectively. While the applied biaxial strains (−5.0 to 5.0 %) can also adjust the band gaps and cause the band type transitions of the HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure from metal → semiconductor (direct→ indirect) at the turning points of −4.0 and 1 %, respectively. These findings provide the theoretical guide for the potential application of the HfSSe/BSe vdW heterostructure in nano-electronic and optoelectronic devices.
