ABSTRACT
Two-dimensional (2D) polarized heterostructures with internal electric fields are potential photocatalysts for high catalytic performance. The Blue P/SiS van der Waals heterostructures were formed from monolayer Blue P and polar monolayer SiS with different stacking interfaces, including Si-P and P-S interfaces. The structural, electronic, optical and photocatalytic properties of the Blue P/SiS heterostructures were studied via first-principle calculations. The results showed that the Si-P-2 or P-S-4 stacking order contributes to the most stable heterostructure with the Si-P or P-S interface. The direction of the internal electric field is from the 001 surface toward the 001¯ surface, which is helpful for separating photo-generated electron-hole pairs. The bandgap and electrostatic potential differences in the Si-P-2(P-S-4) heterostructures are 1.74 eV (2.30 eV) and 0.287 eV (0.181 eV), respectively. Moreover, the Si-P-2(P-S-4) heterostructures possess suitable band alignment and wide ultraviolet and visible light spectrum regions. All results suggest that 2D polarized Blue P/SiS heterostructures are potential novel photocatalysts for water splitting under a wide ultraviolet and visible light spectrum region.
