3D/2D Heterojunction of CeO₂/Ultrathin MXene Nanosheets for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials benefit from the high specific surface area, unique surface properties, and quantum size effects, which have attracted widespread scientific attention. MXenes add many members to the 2D material family, mainly metal conductors, most of which are dielectrics, semiconductors, or semimetals. With excellent electron mobility, beneficial to electron-hole separation, and large functional groups that can be tightly coupled with other materials, MXenes have broad application prospects in photocatalysis. Meanwhile, the application of CeO₂-based materials in organic catalysis, photocatalytic water splitting, and photodegradation of organic pollutants has been extensively explored, and studies have found that CeO₂-based materials show good phot
