Carrier mobility and optical properties of a type-II GaSe/ZnS heterostructure as a photocatalyst: a first-principles study
Yongqiang Ma, Aida Bao, Xin Guo, Jie Wang
Abstract
The structural, electronic and optical properties of a GaSe/ZnS heterostructure were studied by a DFT plane wave first principles calculation method. Its excellent performance showed that it was a potential photocatalytic material for water splitting.
