Transition Metal Dichalcogenides [MX2] in Photocatalytic Water Splitting

The quest for a clean, renewable and sustainable energy future has been highly sought by the scientific community over last four decades. Photocatalytic water splitting is very promising technology to proffer solution present day environmental pollution crises generating hydrogen fuel through “green route” without pollution. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have outstanding properties which make them show great potential as effective co-catalysts with photocatalytic materials such TiO2, ZnO CdS splitting. Integration of TMDCs photocatalyst TiO2 provides novel nanohybrid composite characteristics. In this review, we current state research in application Three main aspects consider their properties, advances synthesis routes layered composites well performances reaction are discussed. Finally, raise some challenges perspectives water-splitting photocatalysts.
