Amorphous Mo-doped NiS0.5Se0.5 Nanosheets@Crystalline NiS0.5Se0.5 Nanorods for High Current-density Electrocatalytic Water Splitting in Neutral Media

Yang Wang et al.

Summary: It is essential to develop inexpensive and efficient transition metal based electrocatalysts for neutral water splitting. This work successfully synthesized amorphous Mo-doped NiS0.5Se0.5 nanosheets@crystalline NiS0.5Se0.5 nanorods through a simple one-step strategy. The Am-Mo-NiS0.5Se0.5 catalyst showed low overpotentials for both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and exhibited excellent stability for at least 300 hours. Theoretical calculations revealed that the defect-rich amorphous structure of Am-Mo-NiS0.5Se0.5 enhanced H2O binding energy and optimized the energy barriers for H adsorption/desorption and OER determining step.

Correlation of Defect-Induced Photoluminescence and Raman Scattering in Monolayer WS2

Byeong Geun Jeong et al.

Summary: Defect analysis in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is important due to its significant impact on the optical and electrical properties of TMD. This study investigated the influence of sulfur vacancies and oxygen substitution on the optical properties of WS2 using laser irradiation technique. The defect-induced photoluminescence (PL) exhibited distinct features depending on the type of defects, resulting in changes in the intensities and peak positions of excitons, biexcitons, and defect-bound excitons. Defect-activated Raman modes provided information about the defects and revealed the origin of the alteration in PL.

Wafer-Scale Anion Exchange Conversion of Nonlayered PtS Films to van der Waals Two-Dimensional PtTe2 Layers with Negative Photoresponsiveness

Sang Sub Han et al.

Summary: This study reports on the controlled vapor-phase anion exchange conversion of 3D platinum(II) sulfide thin films to 2D platinum ditelluride van der Waals layers. The low temperature thermal tellurization of the PtS thin films leads to the formation of 2D PtTe2 layers with a mixture of different crystal orientations, enabling tunable electrical transport and semiconducting-to-metallic transition, as well as negative photoresponsiveness. This work suggests a new chemical route for controlling the atomic and chemical structures of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides towards their wafer-scale modulation of electrical and opto-electrical properties.

The Restructuring-Induced CoOx Catalyst for Electrochemical Water Splitting

Maoyu Wang et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that transition metal sulfide catalysts can restructure into oxide clusters during catalytic reactions, promoting high activity. In the case of Co9S8 catalyst, it ultimately transforms into CoOx clusters with six oxygen-coordinated Co octahedra as the true catalytic center. Multi-model operando characterizations help to uncover the true structure-property relationship in in situ generated catalysts, providing insights for designing efficient electrocatalysts based on transition metals that undergo similar restructuring in reactions like the oxygen evolution reaction.
