(Nanowerk News) Nanosheets, which include the well-known material graphene, are materials that possess nanoscale homogenous thicknesses, flat surfaces, and high crystallinity. Nanosheets have wide ...

A group of Chinese and Australian researchers offers a novel method for creating CdNCN-CdS heterostructures in mild conditions, advancing solar-driven photocatalysis for hydrogen production in a study ...

Water oxidation reaction involves a four-electron and four-proton transfer process, which requires an uphill energy transformation and limits the efficiency of the overall photocatalytic water ...

This study is led by Prof. Wenjun Luo (College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Nanjing University). In previous studies, charge transfer mechanism at solid/liquid interface remains a very ...

The extraction and processing of the materials from which semiconductors are crafted (silicon, gallium arsenide, and other precious metals) are often energy-intensive and environmentally harmful.
