Cover Feature: Stabilizing Layered BiOBr Photoelectrocatalyst by Van Der Waals Heterojunction Strategy (ChemCatChem 16/2024)
2D MoS2/BiOBr van der Waals heterojunctions can be used for photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production. The Cover Feature shows a MoS2/BiOBr heterojunction working as a photocathode. The photogenerated electrons from BiOBr mainly flow into two directions: one is migrating towards the MoS2 surface, driving the hydrogen evolution reaction; the other is accumulating on BiOBr and reduces BiOBr to metallic Bi. However, in a heterojunction with small ratio of MoS2, the electrons are prone to transfer to MoS2, thus decreasing the accumulation of electrons on BiOBr and preventing it from deactivation.
