摘      要：Photoelectrochemical(PEC) technology has been proved a promising approach to solve the problems of energy shortages and environmental pollution damages.It can convert unlimited solar energy resources into energy forms needed by mankind.The development of highly efficient photoanodes is a key step in realizing the large-scale practical application of PEC systems.However,the development of PEC photoanodes has been severely hindered by the issues of easy recombination of photo-generated charge carriers,low photon-to-electron conversion efficiency,poor photo-corrosion resistance,and low catalytic activity.Therefore,constructing high-performance and stable photoanodes is an urgent research field to promote the progress of PEC technology.The atomically thin molybdenum disulfide(AT-MoS_(2)) with unique physical and chemical properties has been widely applied in the fabrication of PEC photoanodes.The AT-MoS_(2) based photoanodes have exhibited excellent PEC performance,which providing promising candidates for ideal PEC application.Here,we summarize the fundamental natures of MoS_(2) and present the research efforts in the preparation of AT-MoS_(2) based photoanodes.Strategies for the fabrication of high-efficient AT-MoS_(2) based photoanodes are emphasized to provide guidelines to advance emerging PEC photoanodes.Besides,perspectives for the development of more efficient AT-MoS_(2) based photoanodes are proposed.
