Motivated by the successful preparation of MoSi2N4 monolayers in the last year [Y.-L. Hong et al., Science, 2020, 369, 670–674], the structural, electronic and optical properties of MoS2/MoSi2N4 heterostructure are investigated.
The structural, electronic and optical properties of a new vdW heterostructure, C2N/g-ZnO, with an intrinsic type-II band alignment and a direct bandgap of 0.89 eV at the Γ point are extensively studied by DFT calculations.
We propose lead-free potassium iodide perovskite solid solutions KBI3 with B-site mixing between Ge/Sn and Mg as potential candidates for photocatalysts based on systematic first-principles calculations.
