"Two-dimensional blue-phase CX (X = S, Se) monolayers with high carrier" by Shengcai Li, Mengyao Shi et al.
Photocatalytic water splitting utilizing solar energy is considered as one of the most ideal strategies for solving the energy and environmental issues. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials with an intrinsic dipole show great chance to achieve excellent photocatalytic performance. In this work, blue-phase monolayer carbon monochalcogenides (CX, X=S, Se) are constructed and systematically studied as photocatalysts for water splitting by performing first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. After confirming the great dynamical, thermal, and mechanical stability of CX m...
