Abstract
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs) emerge as a novel class of photosensitizers, distinguished by their discrete energy band structures and abundance of catalytically active sites; however, their broader adoption in heterogeneous photocatalysis remains hindered by the challenges of ultrashort carrier lifetimes, limited stability, and the complexity of charge transport regulation. In this work, we conceptually design the metal NCs photosensitized and graphene (GR)-encapsulated transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) (GR/metal NCs/TMCs) heterostructure via a cascade electrostatic self-assembly strategy. In this multilayer ternary heterostructure, metal NCs are integrated between TMCs and GR nanosheets, which…
