Hydrogenation-Induced Phase Transition in Atomic-Layered
α‑MoCl3 Driven by Laser Illumination in a
Moist Atmosphere

Hydrogenation
plays a critical role in tuning the material structural
phase that fundamentally determines their electronic, optical, magnetic,
and catalytic properties. However, prevailing hydrogenating techniques
rely on noble-metal catalysis, high-temperature/pressure conditions,
and high-energy proton implantation. Here, we report an optically
controlled hydrogenation strategy of atomic-layered material α-MoCl3 via laser illumination treatment in a moist atmosphere environment.
With the assistant of laser, hydrogens are generated from the reaction
between water molecules and highly electronegative element chlorine,
intercalate into α-MoCl3, and ultimately produce
a more conductive phase with a maximum hydrogen-doping density of
0.04 wt %. Without laser, hydrogens are reversibly released and the
structure restores to pristine α-MoCl3. Density-functional
theory studies reveal the facile mechanism of α-MoCl3 hydrogenation including the dependence on the laser wavelength and
power, the concomitant electronic phase transition, and improved material
stability. Our results provide a plausible way for hydrogenating low-dimensional
materials through precise control of laser treatment, which can find
its multifunctional applications in hygrometer, photodetector, and
photocontrollable smart devices.
