Abstract: The article titled "Cover Feature: Stabilizing Layered BiOBr Photoelectrocatalyst by Van Der Waals Heterojunction Strategy" discusses the use of 2D MoS2/BiOBr van der Waals heterojunctions for photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production. The article highlights the role of a MoS2/BiOBr heterojunction as a photocathode, where photogenerated electrons from BiOBr can flow in two directions. One direction drives the hydrogen evolution reaction on the MoS2 surface, while the other direction accumulates on BiOBr and reduces it to metallic Bi. The article emphasizes that a small ratio of MoS2 in the heterojunction can prevent electron transfer to MoS2, thus maintaining the accumulation of electrons on BiOBr and preventing deactivation. The full research article provides more detailed information on this topic.
