Article Abstract
Semiconducting WS2 nanohybrids with different sizes of silver nanoparticles are designed via amine-assisted in situ reduction and growth of Ag(+) ions. These nanohybrids exhibit characteristic photocatalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol as a function of their structure.

Article Synopsis
- A new catalyst structure combining MoS and WS in a bilayer configuration has been developed to improve hydrogen production through photoelectrochemical (PEC) methods.
- This catalyst is designed to be transparent, facilitate charge transfer, and protect the underlying semiconductor, addressing critical challenges in the field.
- The resulting structure shows excellent performance, achieving a photocurrent density of -25 mA/cm at 0 V, making it more stable and effective than previous single-layer designs.

Broadband photodetection including deep UV using Si is technically challenging due to its negligible optical absorption at 254 nm and the requirement of heterogeneous integration with very high bandgap photoactive materials. However, monolithic integration of high-bandgap semiconductors on Si is not possible due to CMOS fabrication incompatibility. Comprehensive experimental studies to achieve broadband photodetection including deep UV on Si are lacking in the literature.

Here, we investigate the band structure, density of states, photocatalytic activity, and heterojunction mechanism of WS with CeO (CeO@WS) as a photoactive heterostructure. In this heterostructure, CeO's growth within WS layers is achieved through ultrasonicating WS and intercalating CeO's precursor within the WS interlayers, followed by hydrothermal treatment. Through a set of density functional calculations, we demonstrate that CeO and WS form an interface through a covalent bonding that can be highly stable.

A new type of atomically thin synaptic network on van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures is reported, where each ultrasmall cell (≈2 nm thick) built with trilayer WS semiconductor acts as a gate-tunable photoactive synapse, i.e., a photo-memtransistor.

The clean production of hydrogen from water using sunlight has emerged as a sustainable alternative toward large-scale energy generation and storage. However, designing photoactive semiconductors that are suitable for both light harvesting and water splitting is a pivotal challenge. Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are considered as promising photocatalysts because of their wide range of available electronic properties and compositional variability.
