Description

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have outstanding electronic and physical properties, both in theory and practice, which make them suitable for hydrogen production using water splitting. The exploration of new 2D materials that have excellent visible-light absorption and suitable band alignment is essential for efficient photostatic water splitting. In this work, we computationally studied structural properties, edge positions of the conduction band minimum (CBM) and the valence band maximum (VBM), and electronic, and optical properties for unexplored 2D materials using density functional theory (DFT).

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
