Two-dimensional Janus pentagonal MSeTe (M = Ni, Pd, Pt): promising water-splitting photocatalysts and optoelectronic materials

Abstract

direction and demonstrates an STH efficiency of up to 29.71% when pH = 0, which breaks the theoretical limit of the conventional photocatalytic model. We also calculated the optical properties and found that they exhibit high absorption (13.11%) in the visible light range and possess a diverse range of hyperbolic regions. Hence, it is anticipated that penta-MSeTe materials hold great promise for applications in photocatalytic water splitting and optoelectronic devices.
