Efficient photocatalytic overall water-splitting characteristics driven by strain engineering in two-dimensional β-AuTe
Uniaxial strain (6–12%) makes 2D β-AuTe a stable photocatalyst with high carrier mobility and UV-VIS absorption for acidic H 2 O splitting with 20.07% STH efficiency. Our study also proposes strain as a simpler way of designing new photocatalysts.
