Two-dimensional BiP3 with high carrier mobility and moderate band gap for hydrogen generation from water splitting

Spin Polarization Properties of Two Dimensional GaP3 Induced by 3d Transition-Metal Doping

“…For example, Jing et al reported that monolayer GeP 3 has an indirect band gap, high carrier mobility and strong interlayer quantum confinement [ 30 ]. Similar results are also predicted in BiP 3 by Liu et al [ 31 ]. GaP 3 , which is a triphosphide composed of the group-IIIA elements and P atoms, was predicted by Yao et al They found that GaP 3 is stable and has good light absorption characteristics in the ultraviolet and visible light regions and can provide promising catalysts for water splitting [ 32 ].…”

Anisotropic and High-Mobility C3S Monolayer as a Photocatalyst for Water Splitting

“…More recently, an α-CS monolayer, with high on-state current (3700 μA μm –1 ) and on/off ratio (10 7 ), has become a promising candidate for application in FETs based on first-principles quantum transport simulations . On the other hand, 2D semiconductors are ideal candidates for photocatalytic splitting of water. , However, the low electron/hole mobility of 2D semiconductors greatly limits further developments of photoelectric devices …”

XSnS3 (X = Ga, In) monolayer semiconductors as photo-catalysts for water splitting: a first principles study

“…In recent years, due to their unique properties, 2D monolayer semiconductors with bandgaps of 1.24 to 3 eV have been examined as suitable catalyst materials especially for use in water splitting applications. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In this regard, layered metal tri-chalcogenide phosphate materials (MPQ 3 ) have been considered as promising materials for clean energy production and several numbers of these 2D monolayer materials including MgPS 3 , MgPSe 3 , ZnPS 3 , ZnPSe 3 , MgPS 3 , MgPSe 3 , CdPS 3 , FePS 3 , NiPS 3 , MnPS 3 , MnPSe 3 have been investigated theoretically 25,26 or obtained experimentally. 27 Very recently, the stability and the photocatalytic properties of 2D CoGeSe 3 have been assessed by DFT calculations.…”
