Abstract
) are also confirmed in the visible light range, and the biaxial tensile strain can further enhance the optical absorption while maintaining the capability of the overall water splitting. Our results not only propose two new Janus materials by demonstrating the possibility of experimental realization, but also indicate that PtXO are peculiar candidates for photocatalytic water splitting.
