Superior tunable photocatalytic properties for water splitting in two dimensional GeC/SiC van der Waals heterobilayers

Abstract The photocatalytic characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) GeC-based van der Waals heterobilayers (vdW-HBL) are systematically investigated to determine the amount of hydrogen (H2) fuel generated by water splitting. We propose several vdW-HBL structures consisting of 2D-GeC and 2D-SiC with...
