摘要
Atomically thin 2D carbon-nitride-based Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) are emerging and promising materials for visible-light-driven photocatalysis. However, a large potential barrier between the heterointerfaces of vdWHs prevents photogenerated carriers from being transported, which further limits their practical applications. Here, we report that the strain promotes photocarriers separation in 2D/2D vdWHs for visible-light photocatalysis. The vdWHs assembled by atomically thin carbon nitride sheets (CNs) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) are used as an experimental prototype. Experimental results along with density functional theory (DFT) work show that the electric field caused by straining facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and improves the transport of photogenerated carriers. Consequently, the photocatalytic activities of CHs/MoS2 vdWHs were significantly improved in terms of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and photodegradation of Rhodamine B under visible-light illumination and ultrasonic irradiation. This study opens the gate to vdWHs-based highperformance photocatalysis. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
