Visible Light-Driven Generation of Chlorine and Bromine. Photooxidation of Chloride and Bromide in Aqueous Solution at Illuminated N-Type Semiconducting Molybdenum Diselenide and Molybdenum Disulfide Electrodes.

Abstract

N-type semiconducting, single-crystal MoS2 and MoSe2 are demonstrated to serve as durable photoanodes for the photogeneration of Br2 or Cl2 from aqueous 12 M LiBr or 15 M LiCl, respectively. The current efficiency for the generation of X2 is measured to be greater than 90% and many more moles of X2 can be generated than the number of moles of MoSe2 or MoS2 used.
