Abstract:
Complimentary surface-charged, nanosized 0D-0D hybrids of phosphorous nitride dots (PNDs) (ς = +9.5 mV) and borophene dots (BDs) (ς = -26.2 mV) having favourable band alignments are proposed for a type-II heterojunction. This hybrid model provides rapid carrier separation and carrier recombination resistance for enhanced PEC water oxidation.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
