WPI-MANA Team Succeeds in Spatially Resolving On/Off Boundary of Photocatalytic Activity between Single- and Bilayer MoS2
TSUKUBA, Japan, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --A team at WPI-MANA has succeeded in spatially resolving the photocatalytic activity of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a model catalyst.
- TSUKUBA, Japan, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --A team at WPI-MANA has succeeded in spatially resolving the photocatalytic activity of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a model catalyst.
- The findings advance the scientific community's understanding of the potential photocatalytic activity of 2D nanophotocatalysts.
- However, the correlation among the dimensionality, crystallinity and photocatalytic activity of such 2D nanomaterials remains unclear.
- The team used a silver (Ag) photoreduction technique coupled with microscopic analyses to spatially resolve the photocatalytic activity of MoS2 as a model catalyst.
