Atomistic insights into highly active reconstructed edges of monolayer 2H-WSe2 photocatalyst

Mohammad Qorbani et al.

Summary: Systematic study of in-plane intrinsic defects and edge atoms is important for the design of low-dimensional photocatalysts. This study investigates the photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CH4 over reconstructed edge atoms of monolayer semiconducting WSe2. The results demonstrate that the consumed electron rate per edge atom is higher than the in-plane intrinsic defects, and nanoscale redox mapping confirms that the edge is the preferred region for charge transfer. These findings pave the way for designing a new class of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides as non-precious co-catalysts for hydrogen evolution or CO2 reduction reactions.
