Photocatalytic activity of twist-angle stacked 2D TaS2

Abstract The low-cost, efficient photoelectrosensitive electrodes as an alternative to expensive and complex rigid systems are yet in demand for advanced photoresponsive technology. Here, the light-induced efficiency of electrochemically exfoliated TaS2 nanosheets for hydrogen generation catalysis a...
