Activating Basal Planes and S‐Terminated Edges of MoS2 toward More Efficient Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) has been considered as a promising alternative to platinum (Pt)‐based catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its low cost and high catalytic activity. However, stable 2H phase of MoS 2 (2H‐MoS 2) exhibits low catalytic activity in HER due to the inert basal plane and S‐edge. Thus, to exploit the basal plane and S‐edge for additional electrocatalytic activity, a facile strategy is developed to prepare P‐doped 2H‐MoS 2 film on conductive substrate via low‐temperature heat treatment. Due to the inherent difficulty of P‐doping into MoS 2 crystal structure, oxygen (O)‐doping is utilized to aid the P‐doping process, as supported by the first‐principles calculations. Interestingly, P‐doping could dramatically reduce Mo valence charge, which results in the functionalization of the inert MoS 2 basal plane and S‐edge. In agreement with simulation results, P‐doped 2H‐MoS 2 electrode exhibits enhanced catalytic performance in H 2 generation with low onset potential (130 mV) and small Tafel slope of 49 mV dec−1. The enhanced catalytic performance arises from the synergistic effect of the activated basal plane, S‐edge, and Mo‐edge sites, leading to favorable hydrogen adsorption energies. Most importantly, improved cyclic stability is achieved, which reveals chemically inert properties of P‐doped 2H‐MoS 2 in acidic electrolyte.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
