The remarkable activity and stability of a dye-sensitized single molecular layer MoS2 ensemble for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Single layer MoS2 synthesized by exfoliation with Li is demonstrated to take up the dye molecule, Eosin Y, with strong binding affinity via sulfur vacancies. This dye-sensitized single layer MoS2 ensemble exhibits remarkable activity and stability for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water.
