Abstract
with the suitable band edge positions, excellent transport properties and strain tolerance, and the lowest overpotential for oxygen evolution, stands out as the most promising candidate for photocatalytic applications. This work opens an avenue for the design of highly efficient heterostructure photocatalysts for solar-to-energy applications.
