Strain is a commonly used tool to tune the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. It is especially effective for transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which can withstand extreme strain up to 10%. To date, localised strain fields have been applied by transferring TMDs flakes onto a patterned SiO2 substrate. Here, we present a novel approac...

Finding a material with all the desired properties for a photocatalytic water splitter is a challenge yet to be overcome, requiring both a surface with ideal energetics for all steps in the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) and a bulk band gap large enough to mediate said steps. We have instead examined separating these challeng...

Two-dimensional (2D)/one dimensionsal (1D)-MoS2/TiO2 heterostructures have proven to be potent for photocatalytic applications. Enhancement of a heterostructure’s photocatalytic activity may be influenced by the accumulation of strain at the interface, which affects the interfacial interaction. Keeping this in mind, the present paper reports strain...

Two-dimensional group III monochalcogenides have recently attracted quite attention for their wide spectrum of optical and electric properties, being promising candidates for optoelectronic and novel electrical applications. However, in their pristine form they are extremely sensitive and vulnerable to oxygen in air and need good mechanical protect...

In the present work, a highly efficient and excellent electrocatalyst material for bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) was synthesized using the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. In brief, ultrafine hexagonal cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles were tailored on the layered surface of in situ nitrogen-doped graphene oxide ...

Identification and synthesis of 2D topological insulators is particularly elusive. According to previous ab initio predictions 2D InBi (Indium Bismide) is a material exhibiting topological properties which are combined with a band gap suitable for practical applications. We employ ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations to assess the therma...
