Layer dependence of the photoelectrochemical performance of a WSe₂ photocathode characterized using in situ microscale measurements

Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials are good candidates for photoelectrochemical (PEC) electrode materials because of their distinctive optoelectronic properties and catalytic activities. Monolayer WSe2 is a p-type semiconductor with a direct bandgap that makes it a suitable PEC cathode material. In the present work, in situ PEC characterization of a single sheet device was carried out at the microscale to explore its performance....
