Photocatalytic disinfection is a known pollution-free water treatment strategy. However, its efficiency is limited due to the spin-forbidden feature of O2, which hinders photocatalytic ·O2− formation and limits its disinfection efficiency. Here the authors produce a strained Mo4/3B2-xTz MBene that can increase ·O2− photocatalytic production, which results in high levels of photocatalytic disinfection.
