Abstract

Single layer MoS₂ synthesized by exfoliation with Li is demonstrated to take up the dye molecule, Eosin Y, with strong binding affinity via sulfur vacancies. This dye-sensitized single layer MoS₂ ensemble exhibits remarkable activity and stability for photocatalytic hydrogen production from water.
