From UV to Near‐Infrared, WS2 Nanosheet: A Novel Photocatalyst for Full Solar Light Spectrum Photodegradation

Narrow-bandgap semiconductor WS2 nanosheets are active photocatalysts, either under visible or under NIR irradiation. The photocatalyst functions are confirmed via photogeneration of an electron-hole pair, with a low rate of recombination.
