Surface charge-directed borophene–phosphorous nitride nanodot heterojunction supports for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

Abstract

Complimentary surface-charged, nanosized 0D–0D hybrids of phosphorous nitride dots (PNDs) (ς = +9.5 mV) and borophene dots (BDs) (ς = −26.2 mV) having favourable band alignments are proposed for a type-II heterojunction. This hybrid model provides rapid carrier separation and carrier recombination resistance for enhanced PEC water oxidation.
