Abstract

Narrow-bandgap semiconductor WS2 nanosheets are active photocatalysts, either under visible or under NIR irradiation. The photocatalyst functions are confirmed via photogeneration of an electron-hole pair, with a low rate of recombination.

Keywords: near-infrared light; photocatalysis; tungsten sulfide.
