In2Se3-based two-dimensional photocatalysts for water-splitting

Thesis

Photocatalytic water splitting has been a burgeoning field of study due to its potential to change the world’s fossil-based energy structure; however, an ideal photocatalyst has yet to be identified despite years of research. Recent research has revealed that indium selenide (In₂Se₃) carries great potential in being a promising photocatalytic water splitting catalyst due to its unique intrinsic ferroelectricity, suitability of band structure and ability to be exfoliat...
