Abstract The recent discovery of graphene has given rise to significant interest in searching for new two-dimensional (2D) materials with their three-dimensional prototypes, where the 2D layers are stacked with weak van der Waals interactions. One of remarkable properties of the 2D nanostructures is their unique quantum confinement effect at the 2D limit. In the present work, we synthesized the germanium arsenide nanosheets using the exfoliation of bulk crystals that were synthesized by Bridgeman melt-growth method. Bulk GeAs is found to have a band gap (Eg) of ~1 eV, while the GeAs monolayer has been predicted to have Eg = 2.1 eV. We fabricated the Si/GeAs core/shell nanowire array that acts as a photoelectrode in the solar-driven water-splitting reaction, and observed the higher photocurrent with decreasing the layer thickness. First-principles calculations predicted the band alignment between Si and GeAs, and the higher photocurrent for the GeAs monolayers relative to that of the bulk.
