Expanding the range of available materials, methods for fabricating MSL, and realization of unique emergent properties are key challenges. Here we report a facile bottom-up synthesis of homogeneous MSL based on a wide-gap 2D semiconductor, BiOCl, using a one-pot solvothermal approach with robust reproducibility. Unlike previous MSLs usually prepared by directly stacking two monolayers, our BiOCl MSLs are realized in a scalable, direct way through chemical growth of spiral-type nanosheets driven by screw-dislocations. We find emergent properties including large band gap reduction (\u223c0.6 eV), two-fold increase in carrier lifetime, and strongly enhanced photocatalytic activity. First-principles calculations reveal that such unusual properties can be ascribed to the locally enhanced inter-layer coupling associated with the Moir\u00e9 potential modulation. Our results demonstrate the promise of MSL materials for chemical and physical functions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>DOI:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-doi\">10.1038\/s41467-019-12347-7<\/div>\n<h4>Authors:<\/h4>\n<div class=\"b-author\">Lulu Liu, Yuanhui Sun, Xiaoqiang Cui, Kun Qi, Xin He, Qiaoliang Bao, Weiliang Ma, Jiong Lu, Hanyan Fang, Peng Zhang, Lirong Zheng, Liping Yu, David J.
