Revealing the strain-induced spin polarization effect in MBene for efficient photocatalytic disinfection
The spin-forbidden effect of O<sub>2</sub> restricts ·O<sub>2</sub><sup>–</sup> production and significantly hinders the efficiency of photocatalytic disinfection. Inspiringly, however, In<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>/Mo<sub>4/3</sub>B<sub>2-x</sub>T<sub>z</sub> MBene (IS/MB) hybrids have recently been developed to promote ·O<sub>2</sub><sup>–</sup> production and photocatalytic disinfection further through the spin-polarization effect induced by atomic strain, demonstrating a 16.59-fold increase in ·O<sub>2</sub><sup>–</sup> photocatalytic production under low dissolved oxygen (2.46 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) conditions.
