Colloidal crystals of polystyrene (PS) beads self-assembled on Pt electrode were used as a sacrificial template to electrosynthesis thin films of macroporous Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH). Such nanostructured materials display a high internal surface area and porosity leading to enhanced electrochemical performance.
Incorporation of Eu 3+ in the hydroxide layers layered double hydroxides (LDH) enables curvature LDH sheets, allowing self-assembly high surface area nanotubes through a facile soft-templating strategy.
This review summarizes the superiorities and utilizations of 2D materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting including transition metal dichalcogenides, graphene, graphdiyne, black phosphorus, layered double hydroxides, g-C 3 N 4 , MXenes.
