Probing Morphology-Dependent CdS/MoS₂ Heterostructures for Photocatalytic and Light-Sensing Applications

Editorial: Shape and size dependent nanostructures for environmental applications

“…Drastic alteration in size and morphology impacts the overall physicochemical and electrochemical properties. Anisotropic growth of crystals demonstrates the exposure of diverse active surfaces ( Gupta et al, 2023 ; Baral et al, 2021 ), alteration in bond energy value, the conception of electron localization/delocalization centres ( Madhu et al, 2023 ), exciton injection via lattice mismatch ( Kundu et al, 2023 ) and alteration in active surface area ( Konar et al, 2023 ) like parameters. Morphology disparity strictly facilitates distortion in atomic arrangement and steric constraints, thus impacting the overall chemo-absorption course ( Wu et al, 2021 ).…”
