In this work, the electronic structures of Sc2CF2\/Sc2CCl2, Sc2CF2\/Sc2CBr2, and Sc2CCl2\/Sc2CBr2 heterostructures, as well as their properties in photocatalysis and photovoltaics, have been comprehensively studied using the first-principles method. Firstly, both of the three thermodynamically and dynamically stable heterostructures are found to have type-II band alignment with band gap values of 0.58 eV, 0.78 eV, and 1.35 eV. Meanwhile, the photogenerated carriers in Sc2CF2\/Sc2CCl2 and Sc2CF2\/Sc2CBr2 heterostructures are predicated to follow the direct Z-scheme path, enabling their abilities for water splitting. As for the Sc2CCl2\/Sc2CBr2 heterostructure, its photovoltaic conversion efficiency is estimated to be 20.78%. Significantly, the light absorption coefficients of Sc2CF2\/Sc2CCl2, Sc2CF2\/Sc2CBr2, and Sc2CCl2\/Sc2CBr2 heterostructures are enhanced more than those of the corresponding monolayers. Moreover, biaxial strains have been observed to considerably tune the aforementioned properties of heterostructures. All the theoretical results presented in this work demonstrate the application potential of Sc2CX2\/Sc2CY2 (X, Y = F, Cl, Br) heterostructures in photocatalysis and photovoltaics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules29122898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T04:21:28Z","timestamp":1718770888000},"page":"2898","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["First-Principles Study on Janus-Structured Sc2CX2\/Sc2CY2 (X, Y = F, Cl, Br) Heterostructures for Solar Energy Conversion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"},{"name":"Henan Key Laboratory of Smart Lighting, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianglin","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"},{"name":"Henan Key Laboratory of Smart Lighting, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Energy Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"},{"name":"Henan Key Laboratory of Smart Lighting, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1007\/s40820-020-00504-3","article-title":"Recent Progress, Challenges, and Prospects in Two-Dimensional Photo-Catalyst Materials and Environmental Remediation","volume":"12","author":"Khan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Nano-Micro Lett."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1038\/238037a0","article-title":"Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode","volume":"238","author":"Fujishima","year":"1972","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"676","DOI":"10.1063\/1.1721711","article-title":"A New Silicon p-n Junction Photocell for Converting Solar Radiation into Electrical Power","volume":"25","author":"Chapin","year":"1954","journal-title":"J.
